Would that we all could just touch the sort of enoughness you describe… Powerful.

You've helped me get closer than I ever could have imagined.

And I'm forever grateful.

It was inevitable for you. And it’s always already here… 😉

I can definitely relate to “enoughness”. I am reading a book called, Worthy. I have achieved quite a number of achievements always fighting that voice, you will never amount to anything.

Me fighting back: I’ll show you. N I did over n over… but it’s never been enough…

My husband is always saying to me; I wish you could feel what I see in you.

I came across a reel that was talking about self-confidence vs self- worhiness WOW what a wake-up call for me.

Self-confidence is outside of us n self-worth is inside of us. We need a healthy dose of both.

So I am working on my worthiness. 💗

Love the distinction between confidence and worthiness. I had never heard that stated but it totally resonates.

And I can also relate to not seeing myself in as good of a light as my partner sees me.

Thanks so much Julie.

Amen brother. This is one of the biggest struggles of mine, too.

The good news is I think I've reached enough-ness. The caveat is it's taken me nearly all of my 62 years to reach it.

That’s beautiful David!

We all take our own time. I’ve tasted it but know I still have a lot of work to do.

Can I ask, what helped you get there?

David Roberts's avatar

Lots of time and experience. And writing helps as well in terms of self-discovery. I think I would have felt that feeling of enough sooner if I had done more writing earlier in my life.

Writing has done that for me too. Even writing this post shifted something for me.
