I'm not good enough!
The one mindset that makes so many people fail, in life, is thinking “I’m not good enough.”
Where does that thinking come from? Are you willing to find out? Are you ready to face it and move on? Unless you do, you will never live your Highest and best possible life. Success, in anything, depends on having strong self confidence and belief that "we can" no matter what the obstacles are.
The only person stopping you from becoming who you want to be and doing what you want to do in life is you. Nobody else.
It's sad that in today's society, millions of people think they are not good enough just because, to their way of thinking, they do not fit the standard of beauty, wealth or body type the media would have us believe "should be" the norm. Some come to believe they're not smart enough, lucky enough or even efficient enough because their bank account doesn't match the Hollywood lifestyle rammed down our necks at every opportunity.
Not feeling good enough is a fear just like any other. It's a self doubt that arises from somewhere in our past; sometimes even as far back as childhood. Someone or something knocked our confidence. Whatever it was made us feel small; knocked us off our feet.
Instead of bouncing back we shied away once, then twice and then continued to do so until this issue became ingrained in our soul.
As harsh as this may sound, we allowed this to happen. We create our own fears and complexes on the basis of something that nine times out of ten is just someone else's opinion. Everyone has one. It doesn't mean they are right. Yet, somehow, we accept their opinion as something written in stone. We take it onboard and allow it to harm us and hold us back. I should add here that the more we hold someone dear to us, the more importance we give to their opinions.
Judgements, criticisms, constructive criticism, liking, disliking; they're all just one person or another' opinion. Believing the "I'm not enough" paradigm is what, ultimately, puts us into a victim mentality. It also stops us from taking risks and going after opportunities.
It's also worth noting that the more someone says something to us, the more likely we are to think about it. The more we think about it, the more we end up believing it and soon, before we know it, we have reaffirmed that belief so much that we end up imbedding it as a new reality into our subconscious mind. Once a belief has that status in our life, we begin to base your actions on it and create the world around us in accordance with it.
This is not who we are though. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We all have the same potential and capacities as anyone else in the world. The only difference between us and a successful person is that the successful person acts upon his world and does not let the world just act upon him.
In order to overcome paradigms like the "I'm not good enough", we need to learn to forgive ourselves our harsh judgments. We need to forgive others because perhaps they knew no better. You see, everyone creates their own reality based on their own circumstances and influences in life.
There is no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone has baggage. The important thing is how you deal with the baggage that you are carrying. If you cannot love yourself, forgive yourself and be at one with yourself, the chances are you will not succeed in having successful relationships with others. Look deep into the inner you and discover even the most painful of content. Let it rise to the surface, analyse it, cherish the lesson that may be contained within it and then let it go.
Create new realities for yourself based on what you love about you, the things you are best suited for and what your passions are in life. Give yourself all the validation you need to restore the belief that you can be and you will be. Once you restore this self-confidence you will find that the only limiting factor is your own imagination.

Healing the body naturally
There are many benefits to healing the body naturally, rather than relying on traditional medicine or other forms of Western medicine. Some of the most significant benefits include:
- Reduced risk of side effects: Natural healing methods, such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, and yoga, carry a much lower risk of side effects than traditional medications. This is because natural remedies are typically derived from plants and other natural sources, which have been used for centuries with relatively few reported side effects.
- Cost-effective: Many natural healing methods are relatively inexpensive, making them accessible to people of all income levels. This is in contrast to traditional medical treatments, which can be costly and out of reach for many people.
- Promotes overall well-being: Natural healing methods often focus on treating the whole person, rather than just the specific ailment. This can lead to an overall improvement in physical and mental well-being, rather than just treating symptoms of a particular condition.
- Empowers individuals: By taking responsibility for their own health and using natural healing methods, individuals can take an active role in their own healing process. This can be empowering and can help to foster a greater sense of control over one's own health.
- Can be used in conjunction with traditional medicine: Natural healing methods can be used alongside traditional medicine to provide a more holistic approach to healing. This can be particularly beneficial for chronic conditions that may require ongoing treatment.
- Can help prevent illnesses: Many natural healing methods, such as yoga and meditation, can help to boost the immune system and prevent illnesses from occurring in the first place.
- Can improve mental health: Natural healing methods such as meditation, yoga, and acupuncture have been shown to have positive effects on mental health, by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.
- Can be used for chronic pain: Many natural healing methods, such as acupuncture and massage therapy, can be used to effectively manage chronic pain.
- Can be used for sports injuries: Natural healing methods such as physiotherapy, massage and acupuncture have been found to be effective in treating sports injuries and promoting recovery.
- Reduce dependence on drugs: Natural healing methods can help to reduce dependence on drugs, which can be harmful to the body if used for long-term.
Overall, natural healing methods can provide a safe and effective alternative to traditional medical treatments, and can offer many additional benefits such as promoting overall well-being, reducing risk of side effects, and empowering individuals to take an active role in their own healing process. However, It is important to note that natural healing methods should not be used as a substitute for traditional medical treatment in case of severe or life-threatening conditions. Consult with a doctor is always a good idea before trying any new healing method.
