Good enough!

“There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don't allow yourself to become one of them.” ~Ralph Marston

What Is Good Enough?

I could have done that better. I should have gotten more done. Likewise, I wish I had been more sensitive. For many years, “never enough” was a chronic habit of my mind, and I could run endless variations on the theme.

We sometimes make excuses for why we don't deserve the best.

Isn't it time to stop letting fear control your life? Isn't it time to stop making excuses for why things aren't better in your life?

Feeling good enough has been one of my biggest struggles, and something I've realized will possibly be a lifelong process.

Our destiny is not fixed; it is constantly changing. One that we constantly influence and shape as we progress along our journey towards enlightenment.

I realize now that I can only embrace all the good I deserve in life if I stop fixating on others' opinions of me and fully acknowledge that, just as I am, I am good enough.

We are all good enough, and we all deserve the best. We just have to believe it.

There are many different paths to the same destination, and the right path for us is the one that aligns with our values, feels truthful, and enables us to connect with our true selves.

Today, believe what is true. You are an amazing, wonderful, and powerful human being that the planet is lucky to have walking on it.

Pause and gently say to yourself, “There's nothing to do." "I am enough." 

Nurturing Self Talk & Self Care

 

“You will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head. Be kind to yourself.” ~Unknown

Here are some examples of creating the space for nurturing self-talk:

• Choosing myself, even if it means upsetting others
• Giving my body the rest, exercise and comfort it needs to the best of my ability
• Appreciating myself as a whole person
• Making time to do whatever I love, without worrying about wasting time
• Learning to set boundaries that nurture my relationship with myself and others
• Complimenting myself without feeling guilty, arrogant or entitled (owning my inner and outer beauty)
• Allowing myself to make mistakes and not berating myself for making them
• Loving and accepting myself even when I fail 

And by speaking to myself more kindly, I am bringing clarity and harmony to my internal world. The more time I take to nurture myself with these loving words, the more peaceful and grounded I feel. 

Inner Peace

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” 

~ Martin Luther King Jr.

“Peace begins with a smile.” 

~ Mother Teresa

“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” 

~Eckhart Tolle

“There is peace even in the storm.” 

~ Vincent van Gogh

“Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.” 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do you frequently feel stressed-out, upset, uneasy, or simply too busy to be at peace? 

In a chaotic world, peace of mind can occasionally be hard. Inner peace is elusive. Like numerous people, I lived my life failing to recognize that internal peace is a choice. 

There's a lot of craziness in this world, and inner peace can occasionally feel faraway/far off, particularly in today’s fast paced society. For me, inner peace comes from within; an internal state of tranquility  despite the challenges you face. 

You might feel 

• at ease within yourself 
• a sense of compassion 
• navigate life’s frequently-turbulent waters more easily.

Inner peace comes from making changes inside you. It’s the internal and emotional stillness that comes with understanding yourself. Inner peace inside you endures regardless of what challenges life brings. Inner peace isn’t just a state of mind but a key for a meaningful life.

“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.”
~ The Dalai Lama

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.”
~ Sylvia Plath

“Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.” 

~ Thich Naht Hahn

“Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.”
~ Albert Einstein

“Peace is liberty in tranquility.”
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
