I’m sure you’ll agree that we’re all capable of beating up on ourselves.  It’s easy right?  In fact, some of my dearest friends have become exceptionally talented at berating and criticizing themselves whenever the opportunity arises.  They can’t make room for happiness, because they are so focused on negativity and self-doubt.
