Leadership Article #2

"Know You Are More Than Enough", the title is what drew me to read this article. Strong self esteem and confidence is something I have struggled with my entire life. The article focusses on inspiring the reader to love yourself for who you are, not what you have. The author makes a great point "the majority of the the probems we create for ourselves in life, stems from a weak self-image." I could not agree with this more! Everything in life truly begins and ends in your hands and the attitude you have while trying to complete a task determines your success. I believe this article is used to motivate rather than to inform.

This idea of self worth is one which has taken me a long time to grasp. I am finally at a place in my life where I am satisfied with the person I am. I have always been one to wonder what else is out there. Ever since I can remember I have taken what I've been given for granted. I have a nice house, my own car, lots of nice clothes, food provided daily and a set of parents who have been happily married for quite some time. Yet I would often find myself searching for just a little bit more. Until just recently I started approaching my issues in a little different way.

I can normally relate anything I do, see or hear to a song in some way. This time the line that came to mind was one from the song Desperado by The Eagles. "It seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table, but you only want the ones that you can't get. " If you are ever feeling down and low start by searching yourself for the heart of the problem. Too often people throw their issues onto others shoulder's because at the time that seems like the easiest escape. However, this only results in the problem being buried away until it has grown to be uncovered again. You must find happiness within what you already have if you ever want to be able to move on to bigger and better things.
