I am enough from Jamie Solorio

I am enough from Jamie Solorio

I am Enough.

Am I?

YES!  

Why?

Why?  That is the question here.  I think that all women have such a deep rooted force within that pushes us to try to be the very best.  

Best Wife.

Best Mother.

Best Friend.

Best Daughter.

Best.

Best.

Best.

And the list goes on and on…why?  Why do we all seem to struggle with this?  Who knows, but I can tell you right now that…

I am ENOUGH.

It seems like it was after I turned 30 that I finally figured it out.  Nothing special happened to me, no traumatic event, no near death experience…nothing.  Just that…

I need to be happy first!  

I need to think of myself.   

Only after I have true happiness within, can I strive to make other people happy, and making other people happy in turn ends up making me happy. It’s funny how that works.

I am FAR from being perfect, or even CLOSE. Not that I am a total slacker, but if I do want a lazy day for myself once and a while…why not?  

On the other hand, when I really want to try my best…I do.  And if I do not succeed as I had hoped to, my motto is…”What’ta you going to do?”  Just let that pressure roll away.

I seriously LOVE my life!

I LOVE myself.

I love my husband.  I love my two precious little girls.  I love my family and friends.  Even when things get hard, I remind myself how much sweeter life is going to be when they get better.

I am

enough.

(You are too!)
