Our society has placed such high expectations on our lives that being normal is not being good enough. I hear it all the time and say it all the time: “I am not good enough” and that thought has become a belief. I am not good enough for a significant other, I am not good enough for a specific job, I am not good enough for my family, I am not good enough for the future. Our continuous thoughts can send us spiraling out of control and we start believing that our life is not worth living. When we come to our senses and realize the place we are in, we start to work backward and working on each individual “I am not good enough for…” statements but in reality, we need to go directly to the root and work on the “I am not good enough” statement in itself. You will wear yourself out cutting down the branches and trunk of the problem because more will grow back, so get to the root.

You are enough!!!

The best way to fight lies in our mind is to speak truth. We may not feel that way but in order for our emotions to shift we must first shift our minds.

You are enough!!!

You feel that? Now start saying it out loud! Don’t keep it in! There is freedom!

You are enough!!!

This is possible, it is not a fantasy or something that we see in the movies. Right now you are saying, “but it is so hard” and you are right! Success is not handed to us, it is by pain and persevering that we are fulfilled when we reach the top. Start speaking life over yourself, if you are only speaking death over yourself then that is what you will get.

The most important thing to know is that we do not need affirmation from others to be ok. You are enough because it is a state of being not a feeling or temporary place. You are enough because you are made in the image of God and that statement alone makes you enough for anything. It has nothing to do with the "good" because you can't be good at everything.You will fail and you will see times of trouble but that does not define who you are.

You are enough.
