5 reasons why you are Enough
I am not enough.
I am not pretty enough.
I am not smart enough.
I am not a good enough wife.
I am not strong enough.
I am not confident enough.
The list goes on and on and ON and ON.
Because I know that I’m not alone if having these thoughts pop in once in awhile and I know I’m not alone in the fact that they may or may not pop in a LOT.
But, UGH, I hate it.
Because it isn’t true.
I think it’s a load of © #$%.
Because while you sit there comparing yourself to that woman over there, that woman over there is comparing herself to the lady sitting on that bench, while the lady sitting on that bench is comparing herself to the mom pushing her kid on the swings, while the mom pushing her kid on the swings is comparing herself to her sister, while her sister is comparing herself to her best friend.
I could keep going, but I’ll spare you because I’m pretty sure you get the picture.
And the truth is that ALL of the women above, including YOU, are ENOUGH.
And here are 5 reasons why.
1. YOU ARE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT.
And if you think you have to be perfect, there is your problem. And jeez, what pressure to be perfect all the time! Look, whoever you believe in, God, the universe, whoever he, she or it is, they did not intend for you to be perfect. You are allowed to make mistakes. You are allowed to fall sometimes. You are allowed to try things out and when you fail move on to something else. But you have to ALLOW yourself to be imperfect. You can’t do it all. Whatever you can do is enough as long as you keep going for it, pushing yourself, doing what you can when you can for as long as you can.
2. YOUR MISTAKES ARE THERE FOR YOU TO LEARN FROM NOT TO PUNISH YOU.
Yes, you’re going to make mistakes. I’m sorry, but it’s going to happen. It sucks, but it’s the reality of us being imperfect. It’s not fun, it can be really hard, and make you feel real bad. But no matter the bad that you feel, you can always learn from your mistakes. You can always use them to better yourself and grow and change and shift and move forward, which brings me to my next point.
3. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GROW AND CHANGE.
You do. No matter how stagnant you feel or how long you have been where you are in life, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t. You can make changes. You can grow. Always. It is always an option. But please, no matter what you want to change, where you want to grow, what goals you have, you are ALWAYS enough. Believing that when you achieve this or that you will feel enough is not the answer. You are always enough through your growth and change.
One of our problems in thinking that we are not enough is that we are constantly comparing ourselves to others, am I right? Yeah, I know I’m right, because I do it too! She’s a kickass mom who does everything perfectly, always has the right snacks for her kids, they are always doing amazing art projects, and the house is never a mess (Yeah Right!). She is a successful entrepreneur who has never struggled, whose business was instantly successful, who helps people wherever she goes, and who never has to worry about money (double yeah right!). She is so incredibly beautiful she never worries about her appearance, is always put together, knows the exact outfit to wear daily, and everyone just loves her. These are the CRAZY (sorry, but yeah I said it) things that we think sometimes and these insane thoughts are what bring us down.
5. YOU DESERVE TO THRIVE.
You do. You deserve to have everything that you want. You deserve to do exactly what feeds your soul and your passions. You deserve to have someone adore you. You deserve to be healthy and happy. You deserve ALL of these things. And I don’t have to know you to tell you that you deserve it because I already know that you do.
