You Are Enough

Rooting out the core of our belief

You Are Enough

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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
