At some point in our lives, we’ve all said these words am not good enough to justify our fears and explain our insecurities or the reasons we don’t have the things we want most. “I’m not good enough to start a business.” “I’m not good enough to get that job.” “I’m not good enough to write that book.” “I’m not good enough to record an album.” “I’m not good enough [fill in the blank].” These four vile words strip us of our personal value, our core identity, and any sense of purpose. It’s time to stop using the term “not good enough” to reinforce some deep-seeded belief that we are insufficient or incomplete. The word “good” is not synonymous with “intelligent,” “attractive,” “experienced,” or “funny.” On the contrary, “good” means worthy, excellent, or kind. It’s time we realize that until we’re kind and excellent to ourselves and believe that we are worthy of the things we want from life, we’ll never be “good enough”in our minds for the rest of the world. Changes you can make to help you remain in control of your self worth: Pursue only those people who love you for exactly who and what you are and who consistently and positively push you to improve. Don’t invest in relationships where your partner makes you feel as if you don’t meet their minimum requirements for attraction, intelligence, or tolerability. Spend time with friends who make you want to live at your best. True friends make you feel appreciated and valued on your best and worst days. If there are relationships in your life that are draining of your energy or your self-worth, it’s time to make a change or say goodbye. Life is too short to feel empty and alone when surrounded by those who should fill you up with the most love. My wish for you is to eradicate the “not good enough” mindset from your vocabulary and your way of thinking and start saying to yourself "Am good enough".
