What if you’re already enough?
I know, it may not feel like that. Perhaps you believe that to be good enough you have to be slimmer, earn X amount of money, own a house, travel to certain destinations, be in a relationship, never loose your temper with your kids, etc. etc. etc….
It can be a long list.
And it’s a constantly moving target. Even if you achieve a goal, you suddenly realise that it’s not enough and push yourself harder. You may think that to shine brighter you have to add more polish, so you end up chasing yet another certification or opportunity to have an external proof of your brilliance. In my experience, it rarely works (even getting a PhD in law didn’t do it for me).
Nothing external will ever be enough until you feel that you are enough.
And yet, in my view, you’re already enough.
Let me give you an analogy.
Your true being is like a sun. As a child, you tend to shine your light in the world.
But then, for whatever reasons, you get shut down by others. You get shamed, punished and belittled for shining your light.
Those experiences are like clouds that start obscuring the sun.
To me, the solution is not to make the sun brighter. It’s already enough. Instead, the task is for you to dissipate the clouds.
As you let go of shame, anger, sadness, pain, hurt and any other cloud that obscures your light, you can shine so much more brightly.
For me, it’s the process of subtraction, not addition.
You are already enough.
