Not Being Enough

You were born whole. Before words, before wounds, before comparison, you were complete. But as life unfolded, the world taught you to measure yourself against others, to chase approval, to doubt your own brilliance. Somewhere along the way, you stopped seeing the sacred perfection of your own existence.

The feeling of not being enough often begins in childhood, in a parent’s silence, a teacher’s comparison, a friend’s rejection. These moments plant seeds of doubt that grow into forests of self-criticism. Later, society waters them with its impossible standards: flawless beauty, relentless achievement, and the illusion that love and belonging must be earned. When your sense of self isn’t rooted in something deeper, the world will easily convince you that you are incomplete.

But healing begins the moment you turn inward, when you stop fighting yourself and start listening with compassion. When you breathe through your pain and let it speak its truth. When you honor your scars as proof that you have lived and your heart as proof that you can still love. Healing is not about becoming someone else. It is remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

Then comes the quiet realization, not shouted, but whispered through your soul: you are enough. You always have been. You were never meant to be perfect, only whole. You are a sacred expression of life, a note in the vast music of creation. You don’t need to be more beautiful, more talented, or more anything. You only need to remember who you already are.

Think of an artist, say, Picasso. Could he ever create something wrong? You might not understand his work, but it still carries his essence, his intention, his truth. Now imagine something infinitely greater, the Source, the Creator, breathing life into you. Could such creation ever be a mistake?

So, stop comparing. Stop competing. Stop shrinking yourself to fit a world that has forgotten how to see real beauty. Be yourself, imperfectly, unapologetically, gloriously. You are one in billions, yet there has never been, and will never be, another you. You were not born to be enough. You were born to be real. To be radiant. To be you.
