71 Encouraging Quotes To Reinforce That You Are Enough Just As You Are

by Barrie Davenport

If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that occasional (or constant) feeling that we fall short in some way.

We don’t rate high on the “good enough” scale.

We’re flawed, while everyone else seems to be more than enough.

Or at least more than us.

Maybe we look in the mirror and don’t see perfection staring back at us.

Perhaps we were passed over for that job promotion and feel certain it’s because we lack something essential.

Or it could be that we have a general condition of unworthiness.

Who would want to be our friend or lover, given all of the gaping holes in our very being?

Who would be with someone who is so . . . not enough.

And that feeling not good enough has absolutely nothing to do with your actual worthiness?

You ARE enough, just as you are, and these “I am enough” quotes will help you reframe your view of yourself.
