Glenn Beck

Sometimes it only takes one person to tell you that youโ€™re enough

Suicide and Addiction to Riches and Fame

If the world says โ€œyouโ€™re enoughโ€ and you donโ€™t believe it, it doesnโ€™t matter.

If you are the only person in the world who says โ€œI am enough,โ€ thatโ€™s all you need.

How you finish the phrase โ€œI amโ€ will change your entire life. Saying โ€œI am worthlessโ€ or โ€œI am stupidโ€ speaks those words into existence.

If you donโ€™t finish the phrase โ€œI am,โ€ someone else will fill it in for you. It could be your parents, your partner, or even your critics.

The truth is, you are special. You are loved. You are enough.

On this episode, I discuss this idea with a powerful and polarizing media personality: Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is founder of TheBlaze, a news and entertainment network, where he hosts The Glenn Beck Show. Heโ€™s a renowned American media personality, political commentator, and author.

Glenn has lived through a lot of tragedy in his life.

He has chosen to use all that heโ€™s been through to get to where he is today. Heโ€™s not perfect nor does he expect anyone else to be.

Glenn makes the argument that we should stop making people into heroes or villains.

Learn all about Glennโ€™s journey and how he thinks about the bigger picture instead of getting outraged on Episode 698.
