You are the person you’ve been waiting for

I learned the lesson of how to feel ‘good enough’ later in life.

The hard way.

That I needed to stop waiting for someone else to save me.

To make my life better.

That it was no one elseโ€™s job but my own.

Because no one taught me that when I was young.

I was taught to be a โ€œgood girlโ€ and do what I was told.

To grow up and get married and have kids.

And to look to my husband/a man to complete my life.

That I hadnโ€™t succeeded until I had.

So when I got married years ago, I expected my marriage to complete me.

91734101-e0cc-42a9-b18e-142df769a39e good enough

That HE would complete ME.

But thatโ€™s not what happened.

He made my life…

Um…

Miserable to be honest!

In fact we made each otherโ€™s lives miserable.

Simply put, we were not a good fit.

Like many of us, I had my own work to do.

I had to figure out what my own needs and wants were separate from his.

Separate from what Iโ€™d been told they were by my family.ย 

And by society.

I had to learn how to stand on my own two feet.

good enough

To have my own back.

To figure out who I was.

And not look to others to tell me who I was.

Iย  had to rescue me.

From my own chronic self-doubts and limiting beliefs.

To believe that I was good enough.

Just as I was.

And to discard the line from the movieย Jerry McGuire that Iโ€™d been carrying around in my head for years:

โ€œYou complete me.โ€

I call B.S.!

No one completes us!

They may compliment or enhance our lives.ย 

But they sure as heck donโ€™t complete us.

Because we were never โ€œincompleteโ€ in the first place.

Weโ€™ve always been whole.

We just didnโ€™t know it.

Or no one ever taught us.

So next time you don’t feel good enough.

Or youโ€™re looking for someone else to rescue you.

Or make your life better…

Please do me a huge favour.

Go look in the mirror.

Your savior is looking back at you.

And is ready, willing and able to help you be the person you already are.

That you always were.

For youโ€™ve been there all along.

YOU are the person youโ€™ve been waiting for.
