An interesting quote from Mohammed Ali says, "If we can get penicillin from moldy bread, something good can be obtained from you, too." Although it's not so flattering to be compared to moldy bread, it may be true in some instances: you (as we all) may become a sort of reject - someone dismissed as failing to meet satisfying standards - when you don't behave according to your true nature, to your deep "knowing". It happens when you say something that you later regret, when you act without thinking, when you try to avoid the consequences of your own actions, when you are aggressive, jealous, lazy... Many are the "ingredients" that make the good "bread" that is yourself go bad. But, as at the core of your real "self" there is the seed of greatness, something truly good can always be obtained. Could you try to visualize a musty loaf every time you are about to behave in a way that you know to be "wrong"?
