You probably have a friend, or maybe you are THE friend who has self-esteem issues. Confidence just isn’t their thing. They are tentative about life, question their actions OR inactions and are just always unsure if they are good enough. I am here to tell you that they are good enough, just the way they are, uncertainties and all! As adults, life isn’t easy for most of us and coping is difficult. You have no idea what has happened to them in the past or is happening to them now to make them feel insecure. Avoid judgment.
It is difficult for those of us with an abundance of confidence to understand some insecurities but that really isn’t our place. Our place is to reassure, try to help them shine and actually give a crap care about their feelings. Let them know that NO MATTER WHAT……. they are:
-
Strong Enough
-
Tall Enough
-
Smart Enough
-
Thin Enough
-
Pretty Enough
-
Fast Enough
-
Good Enough
-
Tough Enough
-
Witty Enough
-
ENOUGH
to tackle anything they do so desire. This is part of your responsiblity to humankind. Help people step up, don’t knock them down to try to better yourself or feel better about yourself because it just doesn’t work like that. Karma will bite you in the ass for all of those little “nasties” which you think that nobody knows about. Karma knows. God knows. Do the right thing. Help somebody up rather than pushing them down. Avoid pettiness and selfishness and you will be better for it in the end.
Go now and tell somebody, or look in the mirror and tell yourself, that they/you are Strong Enough and Good Enough just the way they/you are today, now, right here in this moment. Nobody is perfect but own the fact that you are enough.
