For Those Who Feel Like They Aren't Enough

You are worth more than you'll ever know and you ARE enough.

For Those Who Feel Like They Aren't Enough

You may feel like your life is just falling apart, nothing ever goes right, or "Why do I even try?". Trust me, you are definitely not the only one. We all have those moments or days when it feels like we're worthless or unwanted. Whether it be related to family, relationships, or just general everyday life. It happens and it's not easy, but you are strong enough to face whatever battles come your way.

I promise it gets better and I'm sure you hear that all the time, but in all seriousness it will. God doesn't give you more than you can handle. Pray about it and God will answer your prayers. Maybe not when you want him to but he knows when the perfect timing is so just be patient. We're all imperfect people loved by a loving Father. It's ok if someone does something better than you. It's ok if you have to eliminate negative people out of your life. Maybe they are what is making you have low self-esteem. Do what you need to do to be happy and feel worthy. Nothing is easy, but the outcome is a beautiful thing. Be the encouragement and motivation for those who are going through the same thing. There is nothing better than talking to someone who has been in the same shoes you have.

"You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody." - Maya Angelou

Lastly, you are worth it and you are enough. Whoever let you get the idea that you're not is wrong. You are making a difference in someones life. It may be someone you know or even a complete stranger you've never met, but you are enough for whomever it may be. You could be the hope for someone else who just feels like giving up. Just keep doing this thing we call life. It's like math, if it's easy then you're doing it wrong, but if its hard then you are doing it right. Either way it's confusing no matter how many times you do it. We are all here for a purpose and we are all created by an awesome heavenly Father. How could we not be enough? One of the core values of Life.Church is "We will lead the way with irrational generosity. We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive." Take that core value into action and be generous enough to be someones shoulder to cry on or just be there to listen. I know this doesn't pertain to everyone, but a lot of us just let our emotions build up and get the best of us and our only problem is that we don't have someone to talk to. So, surround yourself with people who care and encourage you to keep going because you are worth more than you'll ever know!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
