You Are Enough

You are enough.

You may feel like you are at the lowest point in your life, well if that’s the case, there’s nowhere else to go but up, is there?

But you can’t go up when you are still bound by the shackles which pulled you down in the first place. You can’t go up when you are not ready to embrace growth. You can’t go up when you don’t trust yourself enough to move upward.

No you can't, but you've got this.

Maybe all you can think of is the fall, the mistakes you made. Maybe all you hear is the guilt, shame and regret which accompanied your fall and you are afraid of a repeat performance. The sounds are so loud you can’t think straight and your beating heart is the only other sound you hear.

You are afraid.

Well I am here to say that that's no way to live. You don’t have to live in fear.

You are more than your past. You are more than your fears. You are more than your mistakes.

You are more than you’ll ever know; oh you are so much more!

You are just enough.

Your future is not determined by the mistakes you made which caused your downfall, because even in that depth of despair, even in that hopelessness you feel, there’s still light shining in you, if only you remove the obscurities of self doubt. If only you stop second guessing yourself.

You are able. You are relevant. You are capable of greater things than you know, if you could just embrace yourself. You are more than those voices which drown out the light in your heart; your little flame is stronger than a world full of darkness.

Trust yourself, remind yourself of the countless mountains you have climbed, of the journeys you have travelled.

Remind yourself that this fall is not the end, but just a bend on the road.

Affirm your worth to yourself, forget the crowd jeering at you, they don’t matter. They don’t. Focus on you, because it all depends on you.

Love yourself, build yourself, become yourself, embrace yourself.

If you think you are strong, you are. If you think you are beautiful, you are. If you think you are relevant, you are. If you think you can rise again, you are! You just have to speak it into existence.

You have to speak it daily to yourself until your heart believes what your spirit knows. You have to affirm daily that you are confident. You have to affirm daily that you are powerful. You have to affirm daily that you are relevant. You have to affirm daily that you are enough.

You have to affirm these things because they are true, and not because you want them to be. At this point, you are simply blinded by all the negativity and the light is blocked so you can’t see the real you.

By affirming daily, you are slowly breaking the chains of your shackled mind, by affirming daily, you are slowly setting yourself free form the wrong mindset, because before your life changes, your mindset has to change. It has to change from that of the shackled to that of the freed.

Your mind has to see the truth of who you are before the manifestation can become evident to everyone else. So, each day you tell yourself who you are. Each day you take a step closer to completeness. Each day you take a step closer to independence.

Then one day... one day you realise that you have totally and thoroughly accepted that you are enough. You realise that you need no other validation but that assurance within. One day you look back and you can’t find your cage because you’ve walked too far a distance to even see what once held you down.

You realize that you are independent enough to relate interdependently with others, because we were meant to first become independent, and then live interdependently with others. You realize that you are not alone, and so you relate, not from the place of neediness, but from the place of love.

At this point you have learned so many lessons. You have learned that your first job is to like yourself thoroughly, faults and all. You have learned that self care is nowhere close to being selfish. You have learned that you cannot serve from and empty cup, and so you have to get filled up first before you can effectively serve.

You realize that your consistence led you out of the pain which threatened to drown you, and that because you focused your energy on recovering yourself, the energy within you grew, so much that you now glow.

You look back and smile because you know what you’ve been through. You know you’ve come from a place of dependence, to a place of independence and so you are well equipped to live interdependently, because you are sure of whom you are. You are proud of yourself; you travelled the journey, went through the process, to rediscover the truth about yourself.

You have no iota of doubt about who you are.

You are confident.

You are powerful.

You are relevant.

You are enough.
