Sean Delaney: 我发现,我们常常陷入一种为了证明自己价值而不断努力的模式中。这种模式源于内心深处的一个恐惧:现在的我,还不够好。为了消除这种恐惧,我们拼命追求成就,渴望得到他人的认可。然而,这种模式往往适得其反,让我们离真正的自由和快乐越来越远。我意识到,真正的自由不在于无尽的追求,而在于我们内心深处那份平静、稳定的存在感。我鼓励大家放下那些虚假的身份,勇敢地活出真实的自己。我希望大家明白,真正的爱是无条件的,它不会因为我们的表现而改变。所以,我邀请大家从存在出发,而不是为了被认可而努力。我相信,当我们能够真正接纳自己,信任自己时,我们就能找到属于自己的道路,活出精彩的人生。

What if the version of you the world rewards isn’t the version that makes you feel alive? We’ve been taught that we have to earn love. Earn rest. Earn our right to belong. But what if the model is backwards? What if Being is the starting point — not the reward at the end of striving? In this episode, I unpack the hidden cost of tying your worth to outcomes, approval, and perfection… and explore what becomes possible when we finally come home to ourselves. This is not a self-help checklist. It’s an invitation to slow down, to examine the identity you’ve built, and to consider who you might be without the need to earn your value.

We’ll explore:

  • Why your peace can’t depend on performance
  • Why freedom doesn’t live in conditional mindsets
  • How self-trust changes everything
  • The real difference between love and approval
  • What opens up when you’re rooted in presence and open to possibility
