You are enough. Just as you are. Period. So what does this mean to be enough? You are enough means that you were made to be you, as you are, on purpose. You are enough as you are, mess and all, beautiful as you are, showing up for your life every day. That’s all you have to be and all you have to do. You’re already enough. You are enough means you can grow and change and continue to become, because you aren’t trying to prove yourself. You are enough means that you don’t have to strive to become more worthy, more valid, more acceptable, or more loved. You already are all of those things. There are things you may want to be more of. Openness. Honest. True. Authentic. Free. Connected. Intentional. Purposeful. Those are all expressions of your enough-ness. They aren’t about changing yourself, they’re about being yourself. You were enough before, you are enough now, and you will continue to be enough as you become more of who you were made to be. And believing that, when the world keeps whispering otherwise, is brave. Because “you are enough” does not mean that you have been measured and considered and judged, and that you have finally earned the label of “enough.” It doesn’t mean that you’ve worked long enough, tried hard enough, presented well enough. It’s simply who you are. The you that you are is enough. You don’t have to be more, or do more, or buy more to be who you are meant to be. That’s what I mean when I say you are enough. You are enough does not mean that you are a final product, complete and finished, all done growing and changing and learning things forevermore. Having a good grasp on “enough” means you don’t have to get everything, and you certainly don’t have to be everything. You are enough does not mean that you have to be self-sufficient. It doesn’t mean that you don’t need anyone or anything else. It means you understand how much you do need, how small you are in this great grand universe — and that you don’t have to be even one inch bigger than that. You are enough absolutely does not mean that you never need help. When you know you are enough, it’s easier to ask for help. It’s easier to admit your weaknesses. You know that your imperfections and your difficulties don’t reflect on your worth, because you are already enough, just as you are. You are enough does not mean that you are flawless, or that you never make mistakes. You make mistakes. I make mistakes every single day. I’m aware of my flaws.That doesn’t mean that my flaws are the truest, most important thing about me, it just means that I acknowledge them. I see them there. They exist. You are enough flaws and all. You are worthy of all the amazing things you want in your life.
