Many people struggle with insecurities. They feel that no matter how hard they try to do things right, they can't. Almost as if a devil is sitting on their shoulder screaming "you aren't good enough!"
I, myself have struggled with this in the past, and If i'm being completely honest, still struggle with this at times.
But the question that we need to ask ourselves is... "what is good enough?" Or better yet, "what makes us not good enough?" I myself have tried to figure this out but have yet to find an answer, because the truth is, each and everyone of us are indeed, good enough.
If you are anything like myself, you tend to gather these thoughts of not being good enough by comparing your lives to others around you. "She's so pretty and put together, I wish I was as good as her" or "He's the star athlete and a straight-A student, I wish I was that well-rounded." But, you can not determine your self-worth by comparing your lives to those around you.
We are all individuals. We have are good qualities, and we have our bad. But, not one single person is "better" than the other. Each of us are unique in our very own way.
Each person in this world lives a different life, from the way they were brought up, the things they do, the things they like, etc. Not one person is EXACTLY the same. So why compare yourself to someone who is completely different from you? It doesn't matter if you aren't as athletic as the person next you you, or can sing as well as the person who sits behind you in class, because there are things about YOU that YOU are just as good at too. You can not judge yourself based off of the success of others, when you, yourself are just as great, even if it may not be in the same field.
We also tend to determine our self worth by some of the actions that we make, but, there is no point in doing this because not a single one of us on this earth is perfect.
We all make mistakes, it is something that is bound to happen. Maybe you have disappointed someone you care about, and that's okay. But don't beat yourself up over it, or feel that you aren't good enough over the mistake you made, because I can promise you this, life goes on.
Each and every person in this world is beautiful, amazing, unique, and talented in their own special way, and that is what makes all of us amazing. We have things we are good at, and we have things we aren't. We do things that are good, and we do things that aren't so good, but we learn from that. The way that we are all so different from one another, our uniqueness, is what makes us good enough.
It does not matter if the way we are doesn't please others, or doesn't suit the standards of someone else. Deep down, we are aware of the amazing qualities we each possess, and at the end of the day, you are the only one who has to live with yourself, so it does not matter if others don't see the good in you, but what matters is if you see the good in yourself.
