I've had enough of intelligent, capable, talented women bleating that they are not enough. I watch some of the conversations happening online (and offline) sometimes and think 'why are you putting yourself down?' and then I catch myself doing it because we seem to be conditioned to think it's normal.
The endless rhetoric of 'oh I've put on so much weight / I'm not good at.... / I'm not pretty / I'm not very fit / I'm not very talented / I'm a bad mother/wife/daughter/employee'. We seem to be trying to one up each other on how bad at something we are. Are you serious? It is ridiculous.
It is ok to be good at something, it's very ok to be happy with who you are and how you look and you shouldn't have to tell people otherwise. You shouldn't have to think that you have to tell anyone otherwise. And if you can't even say it to yourself how can you expect anyone else to say it to you?
I want you to try something, say this to yourself (or out loud), 'I am good enough. I am important'. Now, how does that make you feel? Do you get a good feeling from that, or does it make you cringe? If you're cringing like I did when I first said that to myself I hope you realise that's not a good thing. If you feel good, if you believe it, hallelujah!
Because you should feel good, you are important and you are enough.
Stop telling yourself (and everyone else) that you're not.
