Miss not good Enough

I like to think that you know you’re more than good enough,

But you don’t see it, and I wonder if you ever will

Raised to survive instead of thrive you learned to settle

If life was about settling, then you would be set

Nothing is ever easy, and convenience will make you lazy

What you feel in your mind is not always right,

Your mind is your deadliest weapon and worst enemy

I doubt that’s somehing you’ll ever see

Where you are is relative, and how you think is absolute

Believe something strongly enough, positive or negitive, and it will materialize

But talking to ourselves is the hardest part

Sometimes we talk to other people in an attempt to fix something when we need to talk to ourselves

Tell yourself that you need discipline to the point that you kill the people who care about you is no way to accomplish your goal

Discipline is not deprivation

Discipline is knowing yourself enough to see the world for what it is, and know who and what to avoid

One harsh reality is that no one is perfect,

Another is that people who care will be there, even if you don’t want them to be sometimes,

And they mey even tell you a lot of things that go over your head until you are at your lowest point

Value those people and realize their flaws are only there to make you like them more for everything they do to be there when it seems like no one else will

You’re good enough.

You don’t tell yourself that when you should

You’re critical when compassion should take its place

You are a good person who isn’t in a great situation

You’re the only person who can say “I’m good enough”

And no matter what, I want to hear you say it

You think you’re born to lose, but we aren’t born to fail

We learn to think that we can fail, and it hurts us in the long term if no one helps us understand how to grow as a person,

And grow in our own way

You’re good enough.

Say it with me.
