If you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream. – Patti LaBelle
First off, let me start by saying that if anybody ever tells you you’re not good enough, I hope you kick their sorry self to the curb, and do it fast. You are good enough. In fact, you are more than good enough. Now I realize that there are going to be things you’re not good at. You may not be talented 
enough to make the baseball team, or get the lead role in the school musical. That’s a fact of life, but I would sincerely hope that someone wouldn’t look at you and say you’re not good, or you’re not great. You may have to work harder, and try again, and that’s okay.
I’m going to assume that we don’t have people in our lives who would be so rude as to say something as hurtful as you’re not good enough. Instead, I want to talk about the one person in your life who can and does say that to you. Do you know who I’m talking about? It’s you. We all say crap like that to ourselves. We are our own worst critics. We belittle ourselves, and our efforts or worse, we talk ourselves out of trying because we know we’re not good enough.
It’s absolute baloney the way we talk to ourselves and the way we treat ourselves. I don’t understand why we do it. And when I say we, I mean we, because I do it to myself. ALL. THE. TIME. I’m not good enough to write, I’m not good enough for anybody to want to date. I’m never going to lose the weight I need to lose, so why bother trying. Seriously, these are just some of the horrible things I say to myself. And yes, while it is very important not to let anybody else crush your dreams, it’s more important to stop doing it to ourselves. You are capable of accomplishing great things, amazing things, if you just try. Stop telling yourself, that you can’t, or you’re going to fail, or that you aren’t good enough. You are. You are MORE than good enough.
