When it is just you, the real, raw you that maybe you don't reveal, even to yourself. Can you say You Are Enough? Are you happy with you?

2. I have had, as I wrote last week, what I
have called A series of unfortunate events.
These have made me evaluate my life, my
thinking, my words, my self worth, my
goals, dreams, drive and purpose.

3. Maybe you are going along pretty well,
there is nothing that is forcing you to go
through such a process of self reflection.
Your relationships are fine, kids are
cruising along, work is satisfying, you are

4. pretty much going through life as you
planned.
Can you though, answer this question in
the affirmative,
Are You Enough?

5. In the middle of the night, when it is just
you & your thoughts;
are you happy with you, or is there
something that is sitting in the pit of your
stomach saying everything is not how it
appears?

6. When you step aside from the many facets
of being you -
• Away from the Job title
• Away from the promotion
• Away from the pay rise

7. • Away from being mum or dad (or other
titles you hold - wife, husband, partner,
daughter, son.....)
• Away from cooking meals and being a
taxi service
• Away from the daily routine
• Away from your qualifications
• Away from the relationships

8. • Away from the award you just received
• Away from your bank balance
• Away from your house and toys
When it is just you, the real, raw you, that
maybe you don't reveal, even to yourself.
Can you say You Are Enough? Are
you happy with you?

9. If any, or many of the above fell
apart, how would you answer?
Where does your identity lie? What is your
self worth built upon? Through which lens
do you view yourself?

10. Do you work hard because you think you
have to perform, because that's why you
are liked?
Is it that you keep juggling all of these
masks as they keep you safe?

11. Safe from people seeing the 'real you', safe
from exposing yourself, keeping busy from
your own thought?
When you strip it all back, what or who is at
the root of you?

12. Do you have unconditional love and
acceptance for yourself, knowing that you
are ok?
You are a work in process but you are on
the right track...
I am bringing it back to how God sees me,
what He says about me.

13. If my thoughts don't line up with what the
Bible says, then my thoughts are wrong!
Simple!!
It is a process for me to keep saying and
believing God's words, not my thoughts
and words of inadequacy.

14. It is my hope and prayer that more people
can become self reflective without having to
be forced! :) That can be a painful and
nasty road.
Take time and dig around a little, follow
where the trail leads you.

15. It most probably will be uncomfortable,
perhaps very confronting, it may even lead
you to counselling.
BUT if you can sort out any unworthiness
or being performance based, then you will
be on a path to living with freedom.

16. Freedom to enjoy life fully, freedom to be
really who you are, freedom from the lies
that you have been fuelling yourself with.

17. Please join the Facebook
Community (closed, safe group). We
encourage and motivate each other,
it is a great place to journey with others
who are on their own paths to living their
best life.
