You've Always Been Good Enough You Just Gotta Start Believing It

You've Always Been Good Enough You Just Gotta Start Believing It

You are enough. You've always been more than enough - you've just been loving the wrong people.

Just a friendly reminder that functioning under the impression that you must be happy all the time can stress you out. Relax. Feel what you're feeling and let it flow.

When someone called me a hero, I wanted to prove them right. When someone called me a devil, I wanted to prove them wrong. It took a lot of self-examination to realize that I was neither. There is a fullness to a person that is gigantic and nuanced and indefinable. It was equally impossible to be a hero or a devil. I couldn’t be contained by a single word.

You are hard to look at
not because you glow,
but because you are the drop off of a skyscraper.
You are the distance to the ground,
you are what people fear to fall into,
you are what people risk their lives to see.
And when someone does finally see you,
it is because they were courageous enough to look

To be rejected by someone doesn't mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesn't mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Remember that only ONE person has rejected you at the moment, and it only hurt so much because to you, that person's opinion symbolized the opinion of the whole world, of God.

Self-Esteem Self-Love

Share

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.

It does not count if you believe in yourself when it's easy to believe in yourself.
