You Are More Than Enough

People say, Dedy you can do it, but I can’t. You can write, speak in front of a camera but I can’t. You have a special talent to do all of that but I can’t. Are you serious? I have no idea about speaking or writing because I never been to school to learn about it. If you watch my videos, you will find my English as a broken English where sometimes I forgot my joining words. Writing sometimes I don’t even know how to spell, undoubtedly you’ll spot a grammar error here, and you say to me that I have a special talent. Really?

I hear this every time I share the possibility that they can do anything. These people believe that they are not good enough, or think that other people are better than them, this is endemic, all of us suffer from this mental illness. What makes you think that other people better than you? Are you out of your mind? You are more than enough, that beautiful voice that you produce from your vocal cords, that incredible mind of yours that can think and create, your uniqueness to express yourself freely, and you tell me that you are not good enough? I understand that limiting beliefs could come from your environment or people that don’t believe in you. I remember distinctly when my brother said to me when I declared to him that I want to go to Australia, he said, “Dedy you never been to school, you don’t know how to speak English, so forget it!” That’s what he said, and he said it with conviction. Imagine if I were to listen to him, do you think I’ll be here and write this message? Do you think I will be in Australia? No chance.

In your life, you have people that support you and people that aren’t. It’s just the reality of it. The people that aren’t could be your own brothers or sisters, sometimes our own parents because they give us advice based on their limiting beliefs. So if we are not conscious of this, we would quickly fall into their limiting beliefs. I know you can relate to this, sometimes you have a conversation with your family or friends, and you notice their limiting beliefs, and they tried to impose that on to you. My suggestion is to get the hell out of there as I did. Otherwise, you’ll go around and tell people, no I can’t do that, but you can. That’s just full of crap! You can do anything or be anything, and YOU are more than enough.
