My wonderful friend, John, recently introduced me to the work of a researcher and story teller by the name of Brene' Brown. Check her out at www.brenebrown.com
Her thoughts and work are so connected to my personal growth it was easy to get excited about her work and be affirmed in my journey.
The key phrase that I am trying to live by is... "I am enough". The belief that what I am is enough, all my imperfections, mistakes, my feelings of unworthiness, my dreams, and my successes. Just as I am is ENOUGH. I am living wholeheartedly by cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to live each day from a place of enoughness.
If I am enough then you are enough. Loving people and showing compassion for where we are at on life’s journey. I am less judgemental and show kindness to myself and to others. Believing I am enough inspires me to tell others they are ENOUGH.
Just this week I had three different people make statements of not being enough. They said to me,
"My sister is the prettier one",
"I have to lose 20 pounds for my daughter’s wedding, I'm too fat.”And
"I not as fast at the multiplication facts as they are".
My new response is, "you are enough, just like you are".
Becoming Jayne..... "I am enough".
