I am not good enough, I am not smart enough, I am not thin enough, I am not pretty enough…are just some of the many lies we tell ourselves, especially as women, on an ongoing basis.  For some reason or another it is easy to tell and believe in those lies, than it is to believe the truth.  Well starting today I want you to look in the mirror and to say in combat to your self the following:

self: I am not good enough.

Inner voice: I reject that lie!

Self: I am not smart enough.

Inner voice:  I reject that lie!

Self: I am not thin enough.

Inner voice: I reject that lie!

Self: I am not pretty enough.

Inner voice: I reject that lie!

Now say it over and over again until you believe it.

I am not good enough; we have all at one moment or another known what that feeling of inadequacy feels like.  We have all felt like I am not a good enough person, friend, sister, brother, mother, lover, wife, husband, co-worker, leader, boss, or cousin at one point in time or another.

If you have never quite felt like you were not a good enough person, perhaps, you have felt like you were not smart enough…smart enough to get that promotion that you know in your heart of hearts that you deserve, or smart enough to apply for that position that you know you are qualified for.

If you still cannot quite relate, there are those of us who like to keep up with the trends and who some would refer to as one who likes to keep up with the jones, who may find the next two inadequacies the most troubling.  The feeling of not being enough aestetically…pretty enough, thin enough, light enough, and the list goes on.  If only I could look like that super model on the cover of that magazine, then my life would be right…or better yet, If only I could get my 4C hair to a 4B (for my naturalistas), then I and life would be right.

Truthfully we have to reject those lies.  We have got to look at ourselves in the mirror and do as the exercise we practiced earlier said and reject the lie.  Tell yourself over and over, if you have to, that you reject that lie, until you believe in the truth that is not a lie.

Reject the lie that has you unable to get out of bed.  Reject the lie that has you unable to trust in others.  Reject the lie that has you self mutilating.  Reject the lie that has you unable to connect as a parent.  Reject the lie that has you looking for love in all the wrong places. AND reject the lie that makes you stay in an unhealthy relationship, friendship, or partnership.

It is only, then, can we begin to remove the ruins and to really tear down those walls of lies, I call it.  When we truly choose to stop living in those lies that is not our life, then we begin to bask in the truth that IS OUR LIFE.

Until next time.
