What is the psychology of becoming yourself? How is your identity formed? This is a deceptively layered question related not only to your past but to your present and future. There is a concept here that’s important to understand: your true self, and your false self are not the same. Loving and becoming your true self is a journey that requires dedication, courage, and resilience. It's an ongoing process of discovering who you really are and accepting yourself for it. It can be difficult to identify our true selves when we live in a world filled with expectations from others about how we should look, act, or think. We often find ourselves trying to fit into the molds that society has created for us instead of embracing our authentic selves. But learning to love and become your true self is worth the effort - it brings freedom, clarity, confidence, and joy into our lives. Dr. Cloud delves into our need for acceptance, and love of who you truly are. This highlight will help you see where that “why” might be hiding.

This guy is the BEST guy I have EVER heard. A man of God that combines science/brain functions/ and the God's Word for our betterment. He is the 1st counselor I have listened to that does not make feel like the biggest sinner or that I am hopelessly lost and broken. His countenance and the tone in his voice is very comforting. Mahalo Nui loa Doctor, Cloud you have given me hope. The Lord bless you and keep you, give you favor. Make His Face shine upon you and give you peace!!

Dear Dr Henry, thank you for sharing wisdom and bringing understanding to my mind and joy to my heart. At 50, this counsel is timely. Blessings, Frank

I hear all these people saying, 'love yourself', 'forgive yourself.' That doesn't make a lick of sense to me. There's no such thing as self-esteem IMO - there's God esteem. ' If Jesus loves me, who am I to tell Him He's wrong? ' Heard that years ago, and it stuck with me. We love because God first loved us. When I asked Him to forgive me, then I was free to move forward. Jesus is alive and leads and guides in safe ways when I ask and sometimes when I don't 🙂

I think you mistook self-esteem for narcissism. Self-esteem helps people to believe that they have the abilities to achieve their goals in life whether professional or personal

God? When exactly did she talk to you?

[@nicolephillips2312]

Thank you for what you are doing for everyone out here!! I thank God for people who love others enough to share❤

[@ruthannfanstone2263]

This is brilliant I'd love to hear more on the true self (and false self). I hardly have heard this from a Christian perspective (as you say the world talks about it a lot) but I think it's key in understanding the gospel and getting free. Thank you.

[@TheShanitaJohnson]

His book “When Your World Makes No Sense” talks a lot about the true self and false self. I’m reading it now

7:43 - HA! Leaving "Sponges" in ppl. Aaiiiihhh!!! Don't do THAT. YEeeech. hahahahahahaha 11:17 - yes Doctor - this is exactly what happened to me. But (as you say) God teaches us different. "We love, because He first loved us." (this is what comes to mind for me often). 14:20 - So good. makin' it rain here. so good. 18:46 - that was just seriously So much perfection.

Great Stuff Dr. Cloud! Don't be surprised if you get hardly any comments...this subject truly nudges the soul!

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

If you aren’t a “person of faith” (Cloud is referring to faith in Jesus Christ). As important as this video topic is, it pales in comparison to the source of all truth and surrendering with gratitude and joy to that source of truth, Jesus Christ. Ask him to wake your heart and mind to his truth. And he will.

[@JesusSaves77799]

Amen! 🙏

[@life.re-defined]

Being Erased is why I'm taking my time

[@elizabethscott3048]

Being erased? Why?

[@adrianascholtz3500]

[@someguy4489]

I can tell you might actually know what you're talking about. You have my subscription. I'll view your other videos another time. Thanks!

So we’ll said . Kinda like hypocrites stating how happy they are 😊 while complaining constantly about how much they do being happy while screaming 😱frustration when saying hurtful criticism etc…🤔 3:25 Or kinda like how wonderful they are in comparison to competitors while complaining how insufficient others are compared with equals. Tweekks 😢 the mindset … like either way they are constantly contradicting information but controlling the narrative as persuading others how much they have arrived @ happiness when not showing it wholeheartedly

[@jane77722]

Entering church with right doctrine but no love vs entering church with love and not perfect doctrine but empathy, kindness, intention. Wonder how Jesus judges.

[@anapadilla7133]

I’m losing my faith in God. Help.

[@lynnmcintosh]

I am so angry over what you said about hypocrites. You needed to study up more before giving your AUTHORITY on hypocrites

[@amazinggrace4924]

This is extremely boring
