Women Want to Know They Are Enough

Brene Brown says women want to know they are enough, but go deeper and you’re asking, enough what? And we answer, enough everything. Which isn’t logical. No one is everything.

So then we come back to purpose and say, enough me. Which means we have to find out who we are before we can figure out and believe we are enough.

I think every wife, at some point, is afraid her husband got a raw deal with her. But it’s such a lie. We complete everything missing by being the other vital half of the team. We are made differently, and we have to embrace this set of differences so we can rest in bring us as_is. We are each a unique being, adding wholeness and completing the circle that makes marriage what it is. We can’t think we’re not enough. Ever. We are the other equally amazing half of the whole.

You. Are. Enough.

Note: Even if you’re single right now, you’re always enough, no matter what daily life entails. It just shocked me that marriage seemed to make that fear of not being enough worse when so many women seek it out as the solution. No matter what we do, we add to it, so ultimately it’s up to us to value our very being wherever we are and whoever we are with–friends, work groups, fun groups, etc.
