I absolutely love the exchange of thought and heart in this interview. I began to weep at that point in the video at about 30 minutes in where Tim asks you if you ever imagined yourself as an adult hugging yourself as a child.
I think so many of us are incredibly unkind to ourselves. We will regularly demand things of ourselves that we would never demand of our own children.
What a refreshing and delightful interview. Thank you so much for sharing this,Johnny!
Thank you brother for the volcano of encouragement! As I walk through the world as a Connector, people open up to me a lot, and I do find that we are very hard on ourselves. All most people ever wanted was to know was that they are unconditionally loved, whether they can put that into words or not. Being a dad, and feeling the swell of love in my heart, and the feeling that I would do anything for another human being, has expanded my view of what it means to be loved. In other words, the intensity with which I love, has opened my heart to the possibility -- even the inevitability -- that there is love for me that is greater than I ever imagined. I believe the degree to which we know, and are settled, in the fact that we are loved, is proportionate to our ability to love others. The more you truly know and experience that you are loved, the more you can love others. So I do think it is important to go back and throw our arms around the little child inside of us, who we so often despised, rejected, or wished with something different. And that's a very emotional thing to do. Or to even think about! Thank you for always bringing your full self, Marvin, with all your authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty. Love you brother!
