But am I? Am I enough? How can I believe this when others appear to be doing so much more, accomplishing so much more, earning so much more? I torture myself; thoughts racing through my consciousness, asking but knowing, deep down. “No, you are not.” If you were, you would be getting more ‘right,’ accomplishing more, having wider impact, earning more money, and be more well-known. Abject misery creeps in, landing in the recesses of the mind. I breathe.
Am I a fraud, then? Do I not tell my clients and others that ‘more’ for the sake of More is not better? Am I being disingenuous when I proclaim that ‘deeper’ is better? Is it not true, then, that we need people to go deeper? Each one of us, in our own way, in whatever area sparks imagination and interest; each has the opportunity to drill down below the surface, below the façade of our lives. To get to the core, the deepest place of desire, the soul. To the place of personal soul-connectedness that generates personal authenticity. The authenticity that creates ‘enough-ness,’ the state of mind that repairs our state of being. And, is it not incumbent, now more than ever, to be in a repaired state of being?
The answer is Yes! Yes, to all! Yes, it is incumbent for each and every soul on earth to go deep, deeper still, to seek and find the core. To breathe and love and repair the cracks and the very sinew that runs through and holds together the body; to find your place of enough-ness. Be brave! Scratch your surface, find a crack, allow light to shine in. Do not be afraid of the light. Just allow the light to shine through, go deep and seep in. The only thing that will happen is that there will be light there! There will be light in your darkness if you allow it. Then, it is there in that place of repair, of healing that you can step out and shine. And in that light, you can know, you are enough.
Let us each take whatever responsibility we need to in order to claim enough-ness, to feel enough, to really know we are enough so that we can be the ‘more’ we seek. What, then, will you do with your enough-ness? What will you share, what light will you then shed for others, to light their way? Get clear, get confident, stand in your light; shine and lead. Our world needs you to feel enough, to be enough and to shine your personal light of impact.
