YOU'RE NOT YET ENOUGH
<span class="html-content"> <p>Most times when people feel insufficient or have shaky self-esteem, we tell them that they are enough and they are great the way they are. Love your self, you're the only you in the world, you're special, and the likes. As someone who has received and given same advice I'd say it's good to hear those words and it could revamp your drive. But, it can also be tricky in the sense that perhaps the person hasn't put in the work.&nbsp;</p><p>I know this because I'm still learning how not to deceive myself.&nbsp;</p><p>From my journey I can boldly say we feel like we're not enough sometimes because we've not done enough. We run back to echo-chamners so we can reinforce our own perspectives. These echo-chamners are subtle tools for radicalism! There's always room for more.&nbsp;</p><p>We must learn to be truthful not just to others but ourselves. Give yourself a honest response to the question "have I done enough"? Kindly note that you don't have to push yourself to the point of exhaustion as that would be counterproductive.&nbsp;</p><p>Contentment is not being comfortable with less! To me, it's gratitude knowing there's a possibility for more. Satisfaction is not the end of hunger! I feel It's okay if you're not yet enough. Besides, what's next after you become enough? This is how I say it- I'm not yet enough for now or I'm enough for now. We can be more than what we are now.</p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn </p> </span>
