<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis is a thought that occupies space in my head and it frustrates me to no end. I do believe that I am good. I think I do good things for good reasons and yet….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is this core belief way down in the very center of my being that says I’m not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not good enough.
People are going to judge me.
People are going to believe the worst about me.
I will never truly be accepted and loved just as I am.
I need to try harder to be good.
I need to be perfect to be acceptable.
I need to be smaller than I am.
I need to act in a way that’s more acceptable or palatable.
I need to diminish the things about me that are too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even as those words loop through my brain, the counterpoint also continues to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am enough.
I am good.
I can be big and accepted.
I don’t have to diminish my self for anyone.
I can be loud and strong and opinionated.
I don’t have to fit into anyone’s mold.
I was not created to fit inside of a humanly constructed world.
I am amazing.
I am creative.
I am loving.
I am compassionate.
I have gifts that serve myself and those around me.
I AM ENOUGH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like a war within me. It’s exhausting. The old thoughts feel less and less comfortable and the new thoughts fit better than they ever have and still…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though I know the truth.
I still struggle to truly accept and embrace it as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
