Yo, today's QOD is, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

Here we go.

Music. Welcome back to the Quote of the Day show. I'm your host, Sean Croxton and Sean Croxton.com. We got Dan Millman on the show today. Today, Dan is going to talk about

the connection between self-sabotage and low self-worth. He's going to talk about where low self-worth

can come from. And also, he's going to encourage us to discover and accept the high worth and value that

all of us have.

Dan Millman is coming up.

Now, let's look at the roots of self-worth.

Where does it come from? Why do some people seem to roots of self-worth.

Where does it come from?

Why do some people seem to have more self-worth than others?

In every culture of the world, when you grow up, you found, you learned the same lesson,

no matter what culture you're raised in. You could be raised by a group of

wolves. You could be a wild child, but you would still be socialized into that culture by your parents

or caregivers. And you would learn very soon that if you are good, you get rewarded. And if you're

bad, you get punished. Positive, negative reinforcement.

Many forms of reward, soft voice, touch, holding, gifts, privileges, and punishments are often

the opposite of those things, even physical punishment. We all learned this in growing up.

And if your parents were there all the time watching you, noticing your every behavior,

they would be very consistent. But most of our parents got tired now and there. And so there

were times we behaved badly or imagine we had bad thoughts or feelings, but nobody

was there to punish us.
