Being Enough, not just about being single


I have adopted the saying, “I am Enough” as my life mantra. Believing that I posses talent, intelligence, personality, strength to become,  that I’m not lacking, I am not less than anyone else. Knowing I am enough means I continue to grow and cultivate my being. I didn’t really attach the saying to my singleness, so when a someone made the comment that I would have to take down my ‘I am Enough’ saying when I move, because “The new owner might not be single”, I was a little taken a back.  Being enough has to do with my self esteem. Brene' Brown, the person who inspired me, isn’t single so I never felt that being single meant I wasn’t enough. I sometimes forget that I am defined by my singleness, and others are defined by their jobs or sexual orientations or disabilities or wealth.  In becoming Jayne, I want to look at the heart, character and courage of myself and others to encourage a sense of value. Being married or in a relationship doesn’t mean I am instantly enough. Being enough comes from within, my heart and mind and soul.  And knowing I am enough, single or not, is the start.  Cheers to I am enough…………becoming  Jayne
