I am Enough

i am enough. i am all that i need.

i love that..but most of the time why do we think we aren't?? My sessions often reveal that we believe we are not good enough,, not clever, beautiful, powerful or rich enough and all kinds of other self- limiting beliefs. Often we go through life seeking approval, seeking validation from everyone but ourselves. We seek approval from our mum, dad, teachers, bosses, boyfriend's, girlfriend's, husband's...the list goes on and on and on. This is fine if such person we seek approval or validation from comes from a place of balance and support,. but what if they themselves are going through their own personal challenges and agendas. Such input may prove toxic..A lot of us grip to the values drummed on us, until we lose sight of who we really are. Then we get lost and wonder whats wrong with me...?

At which point of our childhood or personal journey did we lose honouring ourselves?? At which point did we start doubting our capabilities??

So,..What does that line mean? i am enough.

It says to me that all the strength, power and love that i need is within me. I don't need to go any further to validate myself or to seek validation about myself. i embrace the good,the bad and the ugly of me so that i can truly find my beauty. i have all the power that i need to achieve what i desire. It does not then mean i don't need anybody or shun people around me, for love and support from others is wonderful and most welcomed ( especially when it comes with hugs!) but other people's opinion should not determine the direction i want for myself.

On an energy level, how i feel about myself will attract what comes to me. So when i feel love...exactly!!


I think today start acknowledging yourself by making a list- "10 great things about me!" No matter how big, no matter how small, its still great! If you have difficulty with this, you need to work a little bit harder in appreciating yourself. For you are wonderful, as you are :)

  1. Hi there, after reading your blog on I am Enough, I have this thought of me not good enough of being a good wife, mother, and daughter. How much i try to please everyone is not enough. So how do I come over this inner feeling?

  2. hi there! i am so happy that you are reading my blog and what you have written is EXACTLY what i mean.!"trying to please everyone" is your way of seeking approval from your loved ones that you are good. From my past experience,.it will NEVER be enough..someone somewhere will always want more and more.

    i don't have a magic formula but start by appreciating yourself. Do the "10 great things about me" bit. if it seems too much break it down to 3 each of the great thing about me as a wife, mother and daughter.see how it makes you feel about yourself and do it for the next few days. let me know how it makes you feel!
