Ep 268: When will you be good enough?

Start Your Transformation Now


“I’m not good enough” is one of the stories I hear more than any other.


This single story alone is debilitating and toxic and I talk about how I used to feel the same and how I overcame it.


The thing about being “good enough,” it has to be measured against something. There must be criteria to measure it and the truth is, there is absolutely no way to measure it.


For example…if someone said, “You’re the best in the world at what you do,” there is almost no way to verify that. After all, if you are the best, then it means the “best” and it means they’d have to have an experience with every single other person in the world who does what you do to verify. It’s not possible.


More than anything, we only feel not good enough when we compare ourselves to others.


And, we only feel not good enough when we are judging ourselves and making value judgments about others and ourselves.


In this episode I talk about how I pulled myself out of this toxic vortex and how I freed myself.


More than anything, to feel good enough we MUST accept ourselves. We must accept how and what we are…whatever that is.


The interesting thing is, we can only evaluate being “good enough” if we are comparing ourselves to other people and that also is not impossible as we can compare ourselves to what we can see of and about them but we cannot see what’s going on in their head and internal life.


Transformational Takeaway: Being “good enough” has nothing to do with your external world. The way to be good enough is to accept yourself as you are, right now.
