Youre good enough, just as you are right now, at this moment. Youre good enough as you are, without having to change anything.

Youre good enough for love, to have an amazing career, to have happiness and full self-expression, to experience the most amazing relationship. Youre good enough in the body that you currently have, the weight that you are, the age that you have turned, to be the lead on your own TV series, or to work with Meryl Streep.

Part of being good enough is to simply love and accept yourself for who you areand where you areflaws and all.Not because of the things you accomplish, or how you look, or how successful you are, but just by being alive. Its extraordinary to simply be alive.

But you dont wake up saying, Im extraordinary. Part of that has to do with our own self-worth. We dont see ourselves in relation to who we already are. We generally see ourselves in relation to what we havent yet accomplished, what we havent succeeded at, what we struggle with, and where we fail.

So we dont see our own extraordinariness just by being, but showing up in our own lives and being brave enough to live our dreams and do the best we can is extraordinary.

We are worth so much more than we often give ourselves credit for. To that end, find a symbol in your life of something that represents how much you are worth. It might be shocking to discover that you hold onto things because you dont think you deserve better. You might think thats all youll ever get, so you hold on. Or you wonder, Why even bother? Or you control everything, because its scary to let go. It could be an old pair of shoes you dont throw away. It could be an outdated belief. It might be a car you never clean because you already think its crappy. It could be your hairstyle or the pair of glasses you wear. It might be the resolution you never keep, or even a boyfriend or girlfriend.

What if you realized that thingno matter how small or seemingly insignificantmight represent how you really see yourself? But the truth is youre bigger than that. Youre worth so much more than that. Let it go and create the space for something that represents your real worth to come into your life.

When you do, youll realize I am good enough, and other people will discover that you are, too.
