Being Enough...

I seem to have this ever so constant question always running through my head .... Why am I never enough?

Not pretty enough... 

Not skinny enough...
Not funny enough...
Not enough combined of all of the above to get the guy...
Not smart enough to get the job...
Not smart enough to manage money better...
Not courageous enough...



Good lord a person could drive themselves crazy with the list of "Not ______ enough " running through their head.

Now as we are all obviously aware, this mental thought pattern is NOT HEALTHY!

Now logically I know that I have to consider myself enough before anyone else will, so my question is this.... How do you get there? How do you to place where you know and love what you got? Now I know there are going to be some followers that will have the answer and it may sound something like "You have to choose" or "You have to accept yourself for everything you are and everything you are not", well I think I may have figured it out and I am going take my theory for a test drive over the next couple weeks! 



My theory is this, each day you have to remind yourself over and over again that you are and when the situation or opportunity presents itself that tests whether you are or are not, scream out loud that you are enough! OK not totally certain that makes sense in typing it, but it sure does makes sense in my head :)

I wish you the best of luck trying to find out who you are. I know that it won't matter how many people say that you are enough for them it matters how you feel about yourself. I am going through something like this in my life. Where I don't like who I see when I look into the mirror. So although I think that you are perfect just the way you are, and that I love you very much. I hope that you find yourself.
