The idea of being "enough" has been something on my heart for years. If there's one thing I know, it's that I can always grow. I can always get better. I can find ways to do my job more efficiently, listen more, focus harder. But one thing I never have to worry about is being "enough". Why? Because exactly who you are now, is enough. That isn't an "out" for any of us to stop trying, but instead a focus of stop convincing ourselves that we aren't good enough.
That we didn't grade papers long enough. That we didn't study hard enough. That we didn't love enough. If we are putting everything we have, every day, into what we do, then we are doing exactly what we need to be.
