You Really Are #ENOUGH!

You Really Are ENOUGH!

In 2015, after experiencing a heart-breaking and life-changing cycle of events, I found myself beaten, broken, and lost.  Then one morning, while getting ready for work, I heard God softly whisper in my ear these three words: “You Are Enough!”  At that time, I never imagined that my “I AM #ENOUGH” message once shared with my community and beyond, would spark so much buzz, interest, and self-empowerment.

See for years, I lived in a box where I relied on external sources to validate and verify who I was.   I had completely relinquished my rights to be who God created me to be.  My happiness was centered on how other people treated me and my beauty was measured by the words that came from another man’s lips.  I became very hypocritical in my everyday living. I preached a message that I stopped believing, and I asked people to trust a God that I didn’t trust.  Why?  I equated GOD to man, and that was my very first mistake. 

I believed that God’s failure to respond when and like I felt meant that He was unreliable.  When in all actuality, He was setting me up for a very successful future.  Looking back, I realize that I needed those moments of insecurity. I needed to get to the place in my life where I didn’t know my own value.  I needed that moment where I prejudged people by their exterior instead of their hearts. I needed to shut myself off to the rest of the world.  Why did I need those moments?  You see, at the end of those moments, I discovered something that spearheaded a movement.  I discovered “I AM #ENOUGH!” 

I realized that WE, regardless of size, color, scars, religious background, and economic status are all valuable.  I no longer have to look down on someone else because of my own insecurities.  I find beauty in the most unique faces.  I realize that I have no need to compete with anyone else.  I no longer allow my beauty to be defined by man, because it had already been defined by God.

So I stopped.  I stopped waiting for others to compliment me or see my worth. I discovered that some of the most critical persons are the most scarred, and when I did, I stop competing and started compelling others to know their own worth.  I devoted my life to help others discover their own value.  I started seeing life differently and I regained the power bestowed upon me by my Creator.

So do me a favor! When you say you are ENOUGH, say it from your heart.  Say it because you too have tapped into your own inner beauty, purpose, and worth.  Say it and mean it!  Because you my friend, really are ENOUGH!
