You are enough.
I believe that, that you are enough, just as you are, just as you were meant and made to be…
However i want to be clear about what it may or may not mean…
Because “you are enough” does not mean that you have been measured, considered even judged, and through those mediums, you have finally earned the label of “enough.”
It does not mean that you have worked long enough, tried hard enough, presented well enough. It simply is who you are. The you that you are, is enough.
You do not have to be more, do more, or even buy more to be who you are meant to be…
Now that is what i mean by saying, “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…
Nor does it mean that you are all-powerful and perfect, either…
You are enough does not mean that you are everything...
The pursuit of enough flies in the face of the pursuit of everything. Having a good grasp on “enough” means you do not have to get everything, and you certainly do not have to be everything…
You are enough does not mean that you have to be self-sufficient. It does not mean that you do not need anyone or anything else…
It means you understand how much you do need, how small you are in this great, grand, magnificent universe, and that you do not 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 becomes easier to ask for help. It is easier to admit your weaknesses…
You know that your imperfections and your difficulties do not 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 know that you make mistakes. You know that I make mistakes. I make mistakes every single day. I am aware of my flaws even before my feet hit the floor every morning…
That does not mean that my flaws are the true’st, most important thing about me, it just means that i acknowledge them…
I acknowledge their presence and i know they exist…
Hi, flaws!
(YOU ARE MINE)
If “being enough” means “being perfect,” then you are enough is just another reason to hide your true self. You hear that kind of “you are enough,” and you think: well! I know i am not perfect, so either i am not enough, or i have the urge to hide who i really am…
No…
You are enough means that you were made to be YOU, as YOU are, on purpose… Allah taal’ah never created imperfection, we create imperfect images by negativity, we eat, breath and live with…
It is no mistake that you are this person, in this place, at this time by mistake…Your presence at this particular time has valid purpose…
You are enough as you are, mess and all, beautiful and broken, showing up for your life every day…
That is all you have to be and all you have to do…
You are already enough…
You are enough means you can grow and change and continue to become, because you are not trying to prove yourself and that to anyone but yourself…
You are enough means that you do not have to strive to become more worthy, more valid, more acceptable, or more loved…
You already are all of those things…
You just need to believe that…
There are things you might want to be more of. More open. More honest. More true. More authentic. More free. More connected. More intentional. More purposeful. Those are all expressions of your enough-ness. They are not about changing yourself, they are however about being your trueself…
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…
Now my dearest, that is what i mean when i say that you are enough…
And you are…
