inadequacy

How do you shake off the feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy. It keeps coming back, again and again, hitting harder each time.

Everytime progress seems to have been made, it reappears to laugh in the face of my naivety and foolishness for ever thinking it's escapeable.

There are so many things being written and said about the concept of 'enough'.

They say 'enough is an understanding of and acceptance that we are all we need to be'.

They say 'you can't be enough for someone unless you learn to be enough for yourself'.

They say 'don't stand for not feeling good enough because you are'.

They say 'we can choose to see though the feeling of not being good enough by seeing all the good beyond our uncertainty'.

But I choose it daily. I read the right books. I surf the right websites. I practice journalling, I do daily gratitude exercises, I do my best in everything I do so that I can tell myself I did enough.

And yet.... It still doesn't feel enough.
