Like I am not good enough

in reply toTrailblaze

Feeling and thinking do not equate to reality. These thoughts are generated, stimulated and manipulated by negative (and even positive) thought. Instead of focusing on whether you're good enough, I think it would be great to justify to yourself why you ARE good enough. Unless one boasts an enormous ego and arrogance, we all know that we have flaws. This doesn't make us not good enough, awful, or terrible. In what context do you feel like you're going to fail as if you are not good enough? Relationship, school, mental health related, confidence? Realize your thoughts are just thoughts. Give whatever it is your best, no regrets, and do not let intrusive negative thinking tell you otherwise...if you can. I think your situation calls for self-kindness. You are a worthy, unique, one-of-a-kind person. Allow these thoughts about yourself to pass and define the positive attributes you hold. Failure is only accepting these pure opinion-based thoughts as fact...they are not and I think you can succeed once you realize this. Be kind, give yourself credit, and know you are not just good enough, you're more than good enough :)

That is it, I reflex on the past and I do have regrets. When I make mistakes or feel like I should have done something another way than how I did it. Those feelings make me feeling like I am not good enough.

Instead of regret, try exercising learning. We learn from our mistakes and we will do better than that. It is human to make mistakes, we all do, and the regret stinks, but it is where we learn. You are good enough....you just need to forgive yourself, learn from the past, and live in the now. I know how you feel based on some of my decisions, but we can't look back or else we'll never see forward.

Sometimes I am placed in situations where I have to make a judgment decision that affects people life forever. And when I reflect and think I should have to make a different decision I feel sad like I am not good enough. I have this constant fear that I am not good enough because of what I did in the past.
