When You Feel Like You're Not Good Enough

Stop listening to the negative voice inside your head.

There are many days when I don’t feel like I’m good enough. And it doesn’t have to be just one thing; I would feel down in my soul that I’m not good at anything.

It could be that I don’t feel like I’m good enough to be in a relationship, to be someone’s friend, or good enough to be a successful writer.

I know everyone has days where they don’t feel good enough in life, so I know I’m not alone in feeling like this. So, what do we do on the days when we feel like we’re not good enough?

It all comes down to our self-confidence. If we don’t feel confident in becoming a successful writer, we need to look at our knowledge of writing and style to see where we’re lacking.

To become confident in our writing talent, we need to keep up with our learning and never stop writing since the more we practice our skills, the better we’ll become.

We won’t improve in life if we’re not willing to do the work.

We all want to improve in certain aspects of our lives. We want to get out of debt, have a better relationship with our partner, improve our skills at our job.

But, if we’re not willing to do the work, we’re not going to improve. You can’t lay on your bed and wait for things to get better.

It doesn’t work that way, I’ve tried. I can’t tell you how many times I wished for my life to be different but not do anything about it.

We work to improve, so if you want something to be changed or get better in your life, then you need to do the work.

Let’s look at getting out of debt as an example. To be able to do that, you need to create a budget so you can manage your money.

Your budget will help you track your spending, so you will know where your money is going and stopping any unnecessary expenditure.

It will also help you to understand how much money you can put in savings and what you have leftover to spend on yourself, once all your bills are paid for the month.

Stop listening to the negative voice inside your head.

T he more you tell yourself you’re not good enough, the more you’ll start to believe it.

I mentioned earlier that everyone has days where they feel like they’re not good enough. It’s true; we all feel that way.

The question is, are you going to believe it and give up?

Or are you going to ignore the negative voice inside your head and do what you can to improve in the area you’re struggling with?

Once you stop listening to the negative voice inside your head, you’ll start to notice how you feel better about yourself.

It’s up to you to make a choice; no one is in charge of your happiness but you.

If you want to improve in life and to stop feeling like you’re not good enough, I’ll give you an assignment that you can do.

Pick one thing, one area in your life that you wish you were better at and would like to improve in.

Challenge yourself that you’re going to work on improving in that area every day till you feel confident in your knowledge and talent in that area of your life.

I’ll join you on this challenge and work on improving in a skill I would like to get better at and feel more confident in.

I believe it would help to have support from other people who are also challenging themselves to improve their lives.

If you want, post updates with pictures of your progress.

If you don’t feel comfortable doing this or would like to keep your progress private, go right ahead!

You make the decisions on how your progress is going to go in this challenge; you don’t have to share it with anyone until you’re ready.

The reason why I suggest posting updates with pictures of your progress is because it gives other people a chance to cheer you on and join in on your excitement.

A lot of times, it’s nice to read encouraging comments on your progress, and for some people, it could help them stay motivated.

If you would like to join me on this challenge of improving an area in your life so you can stop feeling like you’re not good enough, let me know in the comments, and we can get a group going where we can post progress updates and photos if anyone is interested.

Remember, it’s up to you to take control of your happiness and learn ways to improve in your life. The more we work on improving, the better our life will be, and the happier we’ll feel.
