????I used to think people who ?exude? confidence...those that:
...and have the ?great? bank account ...
value themselves highly
How wrong I was. Following my massive depression, I went to expand my circle of network by joining several organizations and attending a lot of ?high-ticket? events.
I saw how insecure many of the ?confident? people I met that they were exerting a lot of effort in presenting themselves as ?confident?.
They do everything with precision - channeling a lot of energy into
They are so hard on themselves and don?t allow themselves to let their hair down in fear that everything would tumble if they give themselves a break.
That wasn?t the life I wanted for myself. I like to look nice. I care about speaking the right words and taking the big actions. I love spending on fancy things and increasing my bank account.
But I don?t judge myself for sometimes doing the opposite - for misspeaking, for wearing clothes deem too casual, for not taking actions, for choosing the cheaper option and for spending more than I should
For as long as I can remember, everybody taught me how things should be to get some kind of ?holy grail? ? yet that carrot at the end of the stick never came.
I realized then that despite all the efforts channeled into looking ?right? it?s never going to be enough. You can never be smart enough, good enough, rich enough - especially if you?re ticking a checklist and comparing yourself to others.
What becomes enough is when you unconditionally and unapologetically become you, and bring out the best in you.
So if you?re still wondering, yes: who you are & what you bring to the table are enough. You don?t need to do more to be more. You just have to always come from the place of self-acceptance.
