We've all have had times in our lives when we felt we weren't good enough.
Maybe it was in school and you thought the other kids were prettier or smarter or more athletic.
Maybe as you got older, you got passed over for the promotion at work or perhaps all your friends were getting married and you were still sitting home alone on Friday nights eating Ben and Jerry's and watching reruns.
Oy!!
You might have even started thinking that the way things are, is the way they are always going to be because you're just not like everyone else.
They're special, they're lucky or they know something that you don't. You're thinking maybe you're not good enough.
When those nasty thoughts creep in your head and you're really starting to feel sorry for yourself…STOP!!
You are good enough…always.
You've heard the phrase, "God don't make no junk"? Well, He doesn't.
Whatever is stopping you from going full out for what you want is nothing that can't be overcome.
"But my situation's different" you might say. And you may be right. I don't know.
What I do know is this. You are here for a reason and your life has a purpose.
There's also a reason you're reading this right now. There are no coincidences, my friends.
If there's a dream in your heart, pursue it. If there's a business you want to start, start it. If there's a trip you want to take, take it.
If you think you're not good enough or you don't deserve to go after what you really want, let me tell you you are and you do.
Are all the circumstances perfect to move forward? Probably not. They never are.
Do you have what it takes to pursue the dream God has placed in your heart? Absolutely!! Otherwise it wouldn't be there.
You are enough…
As always, leave me a comment below and share your struggles and your triumphs. I read each and every one. I'm on your side…always.
To Your Success,

Yes! Excellent insights…to think otherwise would be like arguing with God!
Just like in the movie, "City Slickers" … life is like a do-over. If at first you don't succeed, try again. This has been my motto forever. My family laughs at me and the stubborn streak of not giving in or up. I just figure it this way, I'm not here to settle for status quo. I am here to give it all I've got and the results will speak for themselves. No it has never been easy for me, matter of fact I'd say it's been downright difficult with many tears at times. What I can say is that my life has been one heck of an adventure full of living and no regrets. Great tips and information, Beth…thanks for sharing with all of us that the "I'm not good enough-itis" is not welcome here.

Hughie
Thank you so much Beth for encouraging us and telling us that we deserve it. Thank you so much!!
Beth enjoyed the article tons. Thanks for reassuring me I am enough. I believe God is able to help me accomplish my dreams. I may be surrounded unfortunately by negative chatter voices around me and not in my head, but I always believe God does give you the desires of your heart.
Encouraging article! Thank you so much for sharing!
So true! You are enough or you wouldn't be here! Great words and love how you encourage people. Thanks for posting! 🙂
You’re welcome Hughie!! “As a Man Thinketh” indeed… Our thoughts control our outcomes. May as well make them good ones 🙂
Thanks Denny…And arguing with God never works…He always gets the last word! 🙂
Thanks for the “City Slickers” reference…hadn’t thought of that one. SO very true though. Sounds like we’re a lot alike in the stubbornness area. We’re not stubborn…just persistent 🙂
You’re welcome Olga!! God don’t make no junk… 🙂
Thanks Carol…and I believe the same thing about the desires of our hearts. Sometimes we just have to get out of our own way and let Him work.
You’re so welcome Michelle. Glad you liked it!
Thank you Solvita. Most times we give everyone around us grace, but don’t give it to ourselves. Love starts at home and it starts with us.
