For many of us our first thought of the day is “I didn’t get enough sleep.” Followed by “I don’t have enough time, my weight isn’t what I want it to be, there’s not enough money”etc. Whether those statements are true or not, we tend to constantly entertain the thought of “I am not enough.”
We have a hard time being satisfied with what we already have. Social media and the things we view can also have an effect on us, making us feel “not enough” more often than not. As we shop during this holiday season, notice how we mostly tend to purchase from a place of lack. We say to ourselves “I don’t have this. I need this, this person needs that. If I had this It would make me happier, make my kids happier and those who receive the gifts happier.” We tend to make a lot of purchases this way and most of the time we don’t even notice the feelings behind those purchases or the things we’re seeking.
The thought of not enough occurs to us automatically before we even think to question or examine it. This internal condition of scarcity, this mind-set of scarcity, only brings into our hearts jealousy, greed and dissatisfaction with our lives. We try to search to become “enough” by the things that we purchase, the trips we take, the money we make and the accumulation of more material things that we don’t use. : / We search for it by seeking popularity, attention and the approval of others. So, we should take a minute and ask ourselves, Where am I searching to become “enough”?
Because at the end of it all, you’ve always been enough. God thought of creating YOU!!! That alone is amazing on its own!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Your value doesn’t come from material things, from an instagram or Facebook post. It doesn’t come from popularity, from having the perfect body or from having millions of dollars and seeking more recognition or power. Some things in life may bring comfort, but none of those things bring true joy, happiness and real lasting peace. That can only come from within each one of us. We have to remember that we are enough, because we are CHILDREN OF GOD, Our value is already determined. It is only up to us to look inward to find it and to bring it out and start feeling that love more and more within us and around us.
I believe that the real test of our lives is to learn to look inward, to help ourselves internally to overcome and love ourselves enough to want to do the best for our soul. One of the most important things we can learn is that we are in control of our thoughts. No one else has power over us unless we “allow them” to. If we know where to focus our thoughts, to make them positive, they will help strengthen us, change our feelings and our actions which create some amazing results for our lives.
When we learn to look inward we have a stronger desire to love ourselves for who God created us to be. He wants us to truly feel the AMAZING LOVE THAT HE HAS FOR EACH ONE OF US!! ❤️ & He wants us to know that we can only reach our true God given potential by choosing to seek Him, Learn from Him and allow Him to provide that inner strength that only God can give us.
So, Trust Him and know that true and lasting peace starts with your thoughts and your connection to yourself and to God. All other things are mostly distractions or ways to teach us to manage our surroundings…But, we’re really here on earth to learn to Love God, Love ourselves, Love our families and Love our neighbors. ❤️❤️❤️
As we Prepare for this holiday season and New Year let’s focus on how much we truly have. On how much abundance we’re blessed to have now and have been blessed to have throughout the year and from the very beginning of our lives. We’ve all had challenges and difficulties, which are part of life, but we chose focus on the Good and learn from the hard times. We choose to know that we’re more than enough. We move forward with Faith in God and in ourselves and we remember that It’s not about the presents or the thoughts of not enough..It’s about LOVE ❤️ True peace, light and abundance that God is ready provide to all who seek him. Life is what we want to make it. Let go of the lack and focus on the good and on the love and abundance that surrounds you today and always.
Love,
Lili ?
