I am enough.

Say it to yourself, and if you're like me, you'll find a "but" creeping up right after it. I am enough but I wish I were more like...insert name of random celebrity/hero/rock star here. I am enough but I can do better. Ever stop to think that perhaps the sentence was meant to be only three words. Ever think that maybe, just maybe, you are enough?

There are dreams in my life that I have been seeking. These are goals that, when shared with others, grant me those looks of pity that say "right. like you are ever going to be able to do that" without ever really meaning to. Over the years, I've stopped sharing my dreams with anyone, believing that perhaps the others were right...my goals are too big for me. Then tonight, as I reflect, a switch flips on and I realize...I am enough.

Not I am enough but...just "I am enough."

You don't have to believe in me. I do. You don't have to believe that my goals are attainable. I do. You don't have to think I am good enough. I do. You don't even have to agree that I am enough...BUT I do.

And I do.
