You are Enough

What does it means to be enough?

 “You are enough.” A powerful statement that some people accept and some people fight. We think to say these things to people who are down, struggling, battling a war in their mind. We think to remind people that “they are enough” when they question their value, their worth, their life. So often we say these three words to people who are struggling with their "NOW." These people are not the only ones that need to know that “you are enough.” Every single person needs these words said to them daily. Morning. Noon. Night. From the moment they are born to the moment they take their last breathe. People who have their “shit” “together” need to hear this. Every one does. Why? Because being enough does not mean that you are not allowed to be something more. It does not mean that you are not allowed to work, strive, breathe, go, believe, grow, want, something more. Being enough, means that you are not less. You are not below. You are enough just the way you are. And if you want to be better than you can be. But as you are right now, is enough too. Everyone is enough, but people can choose to be more. Everyone is enough, but people can choose to do more. Everyone is enough, because we are all valuable in our own ways and beings. I truly believe that there is not a single person on this planet that is not enough. And the people who make others feel that they are less than, are the ones truly hurting inside and often are questioning their own value. You are enough, and you can choose to be so much more. Being enough does not mean that you are done growing, learning, thriving. It means that in this moment you are the best you are and can be right now. Enough is a measure of now. Not a measure of tomorrow, forever. While you are always going to be enough, no matter what you do, you can always choose to do and be more. We can all, choose to do more. To be more. When someone says “you are enough.” It is not a STOP SIGN. It is a yield sign. When someone says "you are enough.” It is not a dead end. Being enough is not a weakness. It is a strength. It is an empowerment. It is the nourishment of growth. It is the water, the sun, the food, and faith all rolled up into one. 

The conversation I hate: 
Me: You are enough

Them: No, I have to be more. 

Today, you have all the tools to get you through today. And tomorrow you will have the tools from today and all the yesterdays of your life. You are enough in who you are in this moment, right NOW.

Study Buddy: Rome Midterm Break

So I am currently taking a break from my study of Ancient Rome for my totally awesome midterm tomorrow. And as I continue to study and express excitement over the small amounts of information that I can recall and remember I am becoming more and more skeptical of the study of HISTORY. Yes, I am beginning to wonder at the very very very last minute, end of my time in school that history is not really factual. Just because it has occurred does not mean that it is a truth of what has happened. That saying "lost in translation" has a HUGE impact on any sort of history being read, interpreted, or analyzed. Not only are we looking at a history written either recently or better yet, in the very distant past. We are reading the interpretations of someone else. We are reading the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, HOW, &&&& WHY that was most important to them. We are reading an interpretation of the facts. But we all know that facts get "LOST IN TRANSLATION." Let's use som...

Transition

For awhile now I have been in transition. I have been wondering where my path will lead me this time. And I think I have come to a decision. At first I was thinking of changing up this blog completely, like you followers have seen in the past. Then I remembered the meaning of this blog. I remembered what it stands for in my life journey. I decided I could not change it up completely. Rather I could take a timeout from it and create a new blog for this new journey. And from time to time I could post on this blog. NOMADICBEE. I created this alter ego, this alias, this pen name, etc etc etc. When I was wondering. When I was traveling the tracks less traveled. When I was finding my way, when I was moving around. When I was going to college, creating, defining, and then redefining myself. I am and always will be her, Nomadicbee. This word, sometimes one and sometimes spaced out to two, is me and is part of me. And I will never let it go completely because how can anyone let themselves go c...

To plan or Not to plan

There are some things in life we kind of have to plan. BUT then do we really? I mean we can plan on going on a trip but then the trip gets cancelled. We can plan a career or graduation. Or plan a party. But then might I suggest that the best things in life are sometimes unplanned? For instance, instead of planning, we allow or open ourselves up to the enjoyment of the possibilities and the unexpected or maybe even the expected. There have been a few times that my plans have fallen apart. It becomes a frustration that many of us know all too well. And then the things that I sometimes do not plan for, are the best things EVER! So I challenge you, instead of planning, maybe say I'm open to it!
