5 Quotes That Helps You Deal With Your Feeling of Not Good Enough

So that you can embrace your true self and live with freedom

People-pleasing is rooted in the belief that you’re not good enough.

When you don’t feel you’re good enough, you want to try your best to “prove” that you deserve to be accepted, cared for, and loved.

In your desire to prove yourself, you also nurture a belief that eventually you’ll reach a point where this is no longer necessary.

But you never get to that point because the more you try to prove yourself, the more you feel like you must prove yourself to keep your status.

And then you carry a double burden: trying to prove yourself while also trying to avoid revealing the shakiness of the foundation.

The irony of feeling that you’re not enough is that it never takes you to the feeling of empowerment and mastery. In fact, it leaves you feeling disempowered and like you’ll never measure up.

And the truth is, you won’t.

As long as you’re trying to prove yourself, to show how dutiful, loving, and caring you are, to prove your worth and competence, then you’re submitting to a standard someone else created.
