I am enough. I don't always feel that way. And I hope to keep growing. But my whole self, including my personality and my conscious and unconscious values, priorities, anxieties, and drives, are enough for the present moment - come what may - and the choices I make in it.
So it is for anyone reading this. For what moment are we not prepared to do the best we can see to do in that moment?
I have enough, too. I often want more (cue unconscious impulses), but I do have enough. This is objectively true in my case, but it helps me to focus on my blessings and cultivate gratitude for them.
Alas, many, many people do not have enough. In my country and around the world, accidental and inflicted misfortunes, and violent conflicts, hunger and oppression driven by greed, hate and self-righteousness are innumerable.
To steward the gift of Life in a constructive way - to enjoy grace, peace and justice when they come; to do what we can to have them come more often to others; and to experience Life as a gift just the amazing and awful way that it is - is to realize that part of being enough is sharing enough.
