Do You Feel You’re Not Quite Good Enough…
Break those thoughts by listing your successes….
How does someone who’s always felt just “not good enough” succeed?
Great question — even if the one asking it considers themselves “perfect” and trying to get one up on some: less: than they are. (BTW: No one’s “perfect”)
First, Why did I think I was never good enough?
1) I was the fat kid in my elementary school that was always bullied and heard “Fatty-fatty 2 by 4 “ all the way through those years. Later in school I was the kid who worked for the class projects but never had a date and never went to any prom. They could have still sung “Fatty-fatty”, and it would have been the same.
2) There were two girls in our family — the thin pretty one and then there was me — -the opposite.
3) My father used to tell me that I would never finish anything I started. Too bad he didn’t live to see me retire as a VP of Nursing. Nursing was a career I took because it was inexpensive education back in the late 60’s.
4) My first husband told me he married me because he thought “no one else would” but his mother said it was because “he knew I would always have a job.” We had sex often enough to get me pregnant and that was it. I discovered later he was gay.
