If we ask ourselves how to be good enough regarding our general value, it indicates a lack of understanding on spiritual matters. We do not promote any religion here, we only teach spirituality. Spirituality and religion are different. Feeling full of enthusiasm and feeling good enough would be our default emotional state normally. That state would apply to everyone. The fact that we are not feeling that way, and not good enough, tells us that there is some insight issues we must address.
Childhoods lacking in emotional nurturing, living in hostile adult settings, and misleading bad experiences make us see ourselves in negative and misleading ways that are incorrect. If we stay living in this incorrect view of ourselves long enough, then we will associate with the wrong kinds of people, indifferent and even hostile to us, which will support our negative view of ourselves and make things worse. After living in this environment for several years our misperception on us will then become a proven fact, not an incorrect view. The spiritual truth is the things we failed at being good enough doing or being, do not matter. There are overlooked things we are very good at doing or being that do matter. So where are they and why are we not there yet?
At some point what we must do is go back to look at what we experienced that showed us we were not good enough and question its authority. Did we interpret what happened and what we lost correctly as evidence of our inferiority? There are some reasons why we would question this evidence that you need to consider before you give up on yourself.
Deficient childhoods, living in hostile adult settings, and bad experiences are not necessarily signs of our inferiority as they first seem. Let us look at our lives from a spiritual perspective to see if that helps. We are not talking about religion and Christianity. We are talking about spiritual aspects of you outside of religion altogether. No religious conversion and salvation are necessary and may only confuse us further looking at ourselves as vomitous sin and a mistake as Christianity sees us through their eyes. Do not accept their demeaning view of you. There is another view of yourself that is even more important, and that is your authentic view of yourself. More on that below, read on.
We want to go in the other direction and begin seeing things through our own eyes instead. Seeing things through our own eyes is in fact one of our seven spiritual birthrights we are to use to make us fully who we are as an individual. I promise you the reason you question if you are not good enough and are asking how to be good enough is because some person, event or setting told you that you were not good enough. That is the person, event or setting seeing you as not good enough and you are believing them.
Enter on stage right with a colorful spotlight, is some spiritual insight that was never brought to your attention about yourself: You are more than just a person randomly placed in Humankind at no specific time with no purpose and with nothing to offer others. Everything about your life has a purpose, a value, and a destination where others need you. All the misleading things which you experienced also had a purpose as part of your purpose. For example, that you had no loving father to raise you and play with you and take you to a ballgame, that purpose was to show you the value of a father and of lovingly raising a child. That purpose was not to show you that you were not good enough and did not deserve a father. Do you see the difference?
Likewise, all the bad things showing you were not good enough, making you ask how to be good enough had a purpose. Those experiences were guideposts to point you to the right place in life where you are needed and are good enough. Do not believe you are not good enough. Nobody is good enough if they are not in the right place for them to shine in being themselves. We are all good enough when we are in the correct place in the sun where we were intended to find. Getting back to us having a purpose, we were given a planned life path to follow, and trials and blessings to experience in our life path. All that is part of you.
So, what took us off this life path to show us we are not good enough? Nothing, that is part of our life path to show us those things are lies and show it is a mistake to believe bad about ourselves. It is wrong to believe we do not have a place and a purpose. We are not in our final destination where we can be fulfilled with those that appreciate us. God’s goal was for you to learn about these seven birthrights so you could use them the rest of your life. The lies were to temporarily deceive you from using your seven birthrights given to you since birth. That way you would learn about them. They are part of who you are and using them will lead you to your promised land with those that appreciate you. God’s purpose was to make you need a compass so you would discover you have a compass, to navigate you spiritually in your life. I assure you by doing what you are designed to do as a unique special person, you are good enough!
These spiritual birthrights are:
Seeing things through your own eyes, (and not anyone or any setting’s eyes)
Feeling your own feelings, (and not anyone or any setting’s feelings)
Thinking your own thoughts,
Lastly, making your own choices.
Beyond that are:
Imagining your own dreams, (discovering you own talents, gifts)
Using your own talents and gifts, building something with them
Joyously sharing your talent and gift to Humankind.
And this is how to be good enough, because in being our authentic self as God created us to be, we and that includes you, are more than good enough!
Just for the record, this is an emotional and spiritual encouragement ministry. We are selling nothing here and are not at the present time even set up to take donations, and probably never will. Your healed life is our reward enough, and we are very pleased with that. If you want to, please share your strength with others in your future so our nurturing can live on.
