You Do Enough, You Have Enough, You Are Enough

By admin | December 6, 2009

I’ve been working on the launch of my new business.  It’s a event company that does retreats for women who run workshops and retreats for others.  Kind of the leader’s retreat space.  The way it’s designed, I’ll be working long hours during the retreats and having lots of time off when the retreats aren’t happening.  Since the events are designed to be small, I don’t have to worry about spending a lot of time in the scheduling department either (plus I have it in the plan that I’ll be hiring an event planner for this task, so it’s not my job anyway).

Why do I tell you this?  Because I just realized today that I’ve been thinking about ways to fill the rest of my time.  I’ve been feeling like what I’m doing isn’t enough.  Not because what we’re planning isn’t good enough because it certainly is – it’s awesome in fact.  But because I won’t be filling all of my time.  Odd that I should say that when one of my goals has been to have lots of free time to spend with people I enjoy.  But I realized that this is exactly what I’ve been fretting about.

And so I resolve now to accept that what I am planning is enough.  I don’t have to do anything else if I don’t want to.  Everything else after that is gravy – something I do for fun.  And I’m cool with that.  Because I know that no matter what:  I do enough, I have enough and I am enough.

I wanted to share this with you in case anyone else out there was stressing out because you felt that you weren’t doing enough.  It’s been a rough year.  There’s been a ton of emotional upheaval, financial upheaval, and personal upheaval going around.  No one I know has gone untouched by it.  So give yourself a break.  And when you feel like you’re not meeting your mark, swing by a mirror and look yourself in the eye and say “You Do Enough, You Have Enough, You Are Enough”.  I promise it will make you feel better.
