Patience- the calm endurance of life

Our artist friend down on drummond street has a new phrase to share and it reads:

Patience- the calm endurance of life

I suppose he's just trying to help all of us get through these troubled times by sharing some meaningful words. Seems to be working for me at the least. Patience, something I need to work on. hmm.

****************

My confidence level is subsiding. I used to think that whatever you can do, I could do too. Isn't that what everyone says? Liars, all of you.

Turns out I can't do everything you do, or maybe I can, just not good enough.

Not good enough. I've lived with these words my entire life. Nothing ever seems good enough, even when you've given it your all. It's never good enough. This is when I start to doubt myself, and I often do, when I find out that whatever I've being doing is Not Good Enough. When will it ever be good enough?

The answer is never. Otherwise you'll never improve. Proving that I'm good enough is the fuel that keeps my confidence and motivation burning. But lately it seems that my car is running out of fuel and the petrol station isn't providing anymore. I'm now running empty.
Oh the feeling of uselessness. I hate it. I really do. I so envy successful people. Maybe they were good enough.

What does it feel like to be good enough? And when will I ever achieve Good Enough?
