I Woke Up Like This: "I AM ENOUGH!"
So let me just be real,
I've gotten sad more times than I should've, worrying about other people's thoughts of me.
Am I doing enough for people? Am I showing up enough for them?
Do I do enough for others to see me as successful?
Do I give enough? Am I there enough?
I'm getting older so why aren't my goals being fulfilled as fast as I thought.
Am I meeting other people's expectations of me?
How come I'm not doing as much as the next person? How come they got theirs quicker than me?
Can other's speak well of me or say clearly that I'm moving in my purpose?
How come people are able to do so much and get these things, and I'm working hard and ain't gettin
Years of thoughts of failure; for letting people down, for not coming through like I think people expect me to, for not keeping up with what someone else already sees in me- it all stopped not too long ago. I realized there's nothing wrong with me; I haven't been dealt the wrong cards.
Seriously, not a cliche: I looked in the mirror and told myself "GIRL, YOU ARE ENOUGH!"
I decided to stop thinking about what could have been if I could have done this or more of that, if I do such and such, then people will think I'm great...
NO!
Have you been beating yourself up like me? Well stop it today!
There's no real purpose to this behavior. It doesn't solve anything. All it does is stress you out unnecessarily.
Be content with being you. Not what you think you might be soon if things could just happen differently. I mean be happy with who you are now. Be confident and trusting enough to move in God's timing. Not the timing that other people have been graced to move in.
You do realize that success is not based on the amount of reactions to your social media posts. So what if somebody else's life looks more glamorous on a computer...
Your life should not be compared to anyone. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE! You have your life to live and your own purpose to fulfill. So go do it. And don't worry about pleasing all these people who probably aren't even thinking about you half the time. Do your thing, live the best life, be the best you.
