“Sometimes you have to realize that you’ve HAD enough to realize that you ARE enough.” ― Mandy Hale

With everyone posting their happy and perfect life in social media nowadays, it's inevitable for us to get frustrated, compare, and question ourselves if we are good enough with our work, with our relationship, and even who we are. It's like every day we have to prove to everyone what we are good at, what we are capable of, and what makes us stand out.

Having this kind of mindset can cripple us to do the things that make us happy and ruin our relationships, dreams, and ambitions.

I want to challenge you to change that mentality, never doubt your self-worth, and always remember these:

You are enough because you are wonderfully created by God.

Each of us has unique God-given talents, sometimes we may feel that our talents are not useful and valuable enough to become successful just like other people. The only difference you and those people have is that they chose to find their purpose and discover how those special gifts can make a difference and make a huge impact on others. Go and find what's yours! For sure, you'll be surprised by what you're capable of.

You are enough because you have a good heart.

Most people who have low self-esteem and confidence, are the ones that always consider others in everything that they do since they are the ones who experience a lot of pain, abuse, negative criticism, rejections, and failures. That's the reason why they are being careful with their actions so they won't hurt or step on anyone. I know you are like that too, don't get pressured by competing to be on top. Continue being good to others, that makes you stand out a lot more!

You are enough because you are doing the best you can.

Most of us aim to be the best at what we do. We aim to be the best parent, the best husband or wife, the best business owner, the best child, or even the best employee. And sometimes, it even gets to a point that we overwork ourselves and sacrifice some of the things we need just to prove to them that we're worthy of their trust and love. I believe that being good enough doesn't mean you’ve worked long enough and you've provided more than enough, for me doing the best you can is just enough to make them realize that you are more than enough.

You are enough because you've been through a lot and you've made it this far.

One of the main reasons why other people are doubting themselves and their capabilities is that they focus only on what's wrong rather than focusing on what's right. Learning how to acknowledge your hard work, the challenges that you've overcome, and all the efforts you put into something simply means you are good enough to stand up and be courageous and strong enough to try again and believe in yourself.

TAKEAWAYS

In our current society that money, beauty, status, job titles, and accomplishments are the basis of success and happiness, don't let that mentality consume who you are as a person. If you wanted to have genuine happiness, inner peace, and contentment, do the things you love without getting any validation or approval from other people and don't be afraid of being judged by others for being who you are.

"I always had an inferiority complex, like I wasn't good enough. I was shy. But dancing gave me so much joy, and I was good at it. I felt like a whole person because I could dance. " - Patricia McBride
