Have you ever had one of those life lessons that hit you right between the eye? Well, on my morning commute on Thursday, I was listening to Peace on Broken Pieces by Iyanla Vanzant. The life lesson that hit me was "when you do not believe that who you are and what you do is good enough, that message will contaminate everything you do." This statement really made me to think about the many times that I have compared myself to someone else or believed that I was not good enough.
How many times have you compared yourself to someone else or told yourself that you were not small enough, tall enough, smart enough, cute enough, good enough to be in that ultimate relationship? Okay maybe you have not said it to yourself but your actions have proven that you do not give yourself enough credit for being enough. As a part of living an authentic life, it is important that we accept ourselves and understand that good enough is enough.
I began to think about how many times I have not done something because I did not believe that I was good enough. Or the many times that I have devalued my services because of my belief that I am not good enough or worth it. I realized at that moment it is not how others perceive me it is how I perceive myself.
I also continued to think about the many clients that I have worked with that struggle with the same pathology. What do I tell my clients? Also these clients seek out my service because of my journey. I realize that I am good enough and the belief begins with me.
Our work: Make a list of the things that you wish to change about yourself and your current life. The write I am good enough......
