Yes, you read that right. And I'm not saying your worthless but I am telling you that if you are having a miserable time of it then most likely it's you that's the issue... and that's a good thing.
This is the Walk You Through It Blog where I take you with me on a journey through things I've struggled with and together we walk through how to overcome them and move forward.
“You are not everything you could be, and you know it.” - Jordan B. Peterson
I wrote a blog post titled I am ENOUGH last year while doing Marisa Peer's 21 day Abundance challenge.
Two Competing Ideas
So which is it? Are you enough or are you not enough? I guess it depends on what you mean when you are saying "I am enough." If you mean that you're worthy of your desires and dreams and love and affection then yes, you're enough. But if things are a mess right now and you are having a rough time in life then you better hope you're not enough as you are in this moment. And here's the reason why.
You or The World?
If the problem is the world or life in general then there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. But if the problem is you then at least you might be able to do something about it. You better hope it's you and not the world because good luck trying to change how things in the world work.
I'm not saying that our actions don't effect the world around us, they do. And if you would like to change the world, you'd start by getting your own house in order first. If you're having a rough time of it then the place to look is in the mirror.
Ask yourself...
With the busy grind of everyday life and technology and fear of boredom, we rarely take time to sit with ourselves and check in. We're checked out. If you don't know who you are, this is why. Do you every take time to ask yourself real questions? And more importantly, wait for the answers?
Maybe it's the fear of what those answers might be. Maybe we're afraid of hearing the truth. It's no wonder so many people don't know who they are. It's hard to sit with yourself. And it's hard to ask yourself hard questions, let alone answer them truthfully.
I want you to ask yourself two questions.
Do I like my life the way it is?
Am I enough as I am or could I become more than what I currently am?
There's power in truth.
Sit with those questions. Answer them honestly. The truth is you're not enough as you are in this moment. You could always become more and there's always room to grow and become better. Don't use that as a reason to beat yourself up or sulk in self-pity. It should be empowering knowing that you're not all that you could be because if you were enough then there would be nothing you would need to do and that would be pretty boring.
Knowing that you could become more than you currently are is the first step in a long journey of transformation and growth.
