We have all spent way too much of our time trying to prove to someone that we are good enough for them. I, myself, have carried mountains for people who wouldn't even climb them with me. My question is this: why? Too often i see my friends chase someone who does not even consider their feelings in the slightest. Why as human beings do some of us constantly seek approval from others and want to prove to them we are good enough to be apart of their lives? Unfortunately I do not have an answer as to why we were cursed with this unfortunate trait. Maybe it is because we like to assume that everyone deep down is a good person. But this is not the case.
Let me let you in on something that is so important for everyone to know in their life. If someone constantly makes you feel like you need to prove yourself to them, then they are not enough for you. In fact, we only have to prove ourselves to one person and that is ourselves. The moment we all realize that we are good enough for anyone and are able to accomplish anything than that is when happiness will truly be found. If someone is worth having in your life, then you will never feel like you have to prove your worth to them.
There comes a time when you can do anything for someone and they will still not be satisfied. And that is okay, because at that point, it is their problem, not yours. We all have our internal struggles. Things we are insecure about. Even though most of us try to hide these insecurities and act like they don't exist, they do exist. Those insecurities and flaws are what makes us human. Just because you have flaws does not mean "you are not good enough for anyone". Since when did we decide to let one person's opinion of us change the entire way we view ourselves?
Whether you believe in God or any other higher power, you have to believe we were all made the same. We were all made for each other and to be good enough. Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing people i love hurting due to the fact they feel they are not good enough for someone. I have been there. I have cried over people, over my flaws, and over my mistakes. That feeling of never being good enough feels as though you're empty and you cannot move forward. I promise you can.
One day I woke up and decided I was more than good enough for myself, and that is all that matters. I refuse to sit back and watch people i care about and even those of you i do not know sit there and think you are not good enough just because one person did not see how truly amazing you are. Once you look into the mirror and see that you are good enough and stop trying to prove that to everyone then it will hit you. That you are in control of who you let determine your self worth. The only person that decides what you're capable of is you. And you are capable of anything.
