You are good enough

I realise that the present situation and uncertainty we are all experiencing, not only over the last six months but now for the foreseeable future, has and will increase the overbearing feeling of loss due to estrangement/alienation.

We all have an inner voice that plays havoc with our thoughts.

We question everything, we lie awake every night thinking of what we have done to make this happen.

Somehow we are bad people.

There is a much quieter inner voice that just whispers, we often don’t hear what it is saying to us.

It is saying we are ok, we are not bad people, we are good enough.

I have written before about being good enough, and it is a great place to be.

There is no such thing as perfection, for any of us, so we shouldn’t waste our precious energy in striving for the unreachable.

Be content with being good enough.

Each and everyone of us, are making a difference in our own ways, it is the small acts of kindness that we will be remembered for.

The very nature of being estranged/alienated is to cast self-doubt.

I am sure that we have all done things that we regret, we could have behaved in a different way, but regretting the past is not helpful.

If you are reading this it just shows how resilient you all are to have come this far, you are much stronger than you give yourselves credit for.

Tune into that small encouraging voice until it gets louder, continue to just being you.

Being you is an incredible thing, you are all unique and awesome.

None of you are alone, we are here for each other.

You are good enough.
