Enoughness 101

Hey, good. Good morning, Cadre. Happy Saturday. Is it a happy Saturday? I woke up this morning and I was like, oh, it's Saturday. Sometimes it feels like that, right? Where the weekend creeps up on you. Well, hey, I am glad that I am here, honey. Oh my gosh, honey, I love your Cadre name. I will never forget your Cadre name. So, honey, good morning. Happy, happy Saturday. Listen to a little India Re for another moment. Strength, courage and wisdom as people are walking in the room. Hey, good morning.

Nice to see you all. Strength, courage and wisdom. We're gonna be talking about courage today. My name is jc. If we've never shared space and time together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you. Right now on Saturdays, I bop into the live stream to talk about the idea of enoughness. Enoughness is the belief that you are already in this moment enough. Which means not so be complacent, but so do something. Do something with what you currently have. There's four tenets to this idea of enoughness.

The first one is your words are enough. So that is speak your truth, right? That's be honest. Number two is your feelings are enough. That is your intuition. So when you get a feeling, your intuition is the part of your being that says, hey, do that. That makes sense, and that will feel good. What happens if you actually acted upon those urges, those senses, those feelings, where you go, you know, I think I should. So that's number two. Number three is your thoughts are enough. That is your curiosity.

Those are your wonder muscles. The. Hmm, I wonder or I don't know, but I wonder in the relationship with curiosity. But we're going to be talking about the other side of curiosity today. And that is courage. Hence the strength, courage and wisdom. Music playing for today. And then lastly, the fourth tenant is U R E enough. That is your presence. When you are where you are with what you have, really, really cool things can happen. You may be asking the question, okay, got it. But why is enoughness worth.

Worth my time? Why is enoughness something you spend time thinking about? JC And I think as I observe the world, most people don't exist from a space, a place, a mindset of enoughness. Actually, most of the world banks on us not being enough to buy things, to do things, to not say things, or to say the things we say when we're not saying what we want to say. Say what you mean to say. So when we can calibrate our enoughness muscles, we can go ahead and kind of reclaim our capacity to do the Amazing things that we can do.

So, third tenet of enoughness. Your thoughts are enough. Your curiosity is the thing we talk about in this third tenet. But I always make the relationship between curiosity and courage, because sometimes people are highly curious but deficient on courage, and other times people are highly courageous but deficient on curiosity. Do you know both those people, the ones who, when you can sit down and kind of crack them open, they'll tell you all the wonderful ideas that they have, and you go, you need to go do this.

But they don't have the courage to enact any of it or to play or to wonder or to try or to ask. And then we know those other people. And everybody's always on the spectrum, right? So it's not binary. It's not, you're this or you're this. We're always kind of flexing. But we know those people who are highly courageous, so much so that they aren't thinking very much. So they're the doers without being the thinkers. And again, there's something really high potential. No matter where you are at any given time, if you acknowledge that this is where I am and this is how I'm going to use this moment, I like laying out the relationship with courage and curiosity this way.

Curiosity says, I'm going to consider. I'm going to consider something. Courage says, I'm going to do it. Isn't that true? Sometimes we need to think about the thing. Like, look at it from different perspectives, give it some thought, sit with it. And other times we need to do. Yeah, how about this one? Curiosity asks the question, what could be? Like, we internalize it, huh? What could be if? What could be if? What could be if? And courage actually asks the question, hey, world, what could be if?

Isn't it amazing that sometimes courage doesn't have to be, but it could be? I'm going to ask the question. Everybody in the room's thinking it. You being the courageous one to ask it out loud. All right. Curiosity asks the question, what would happen if? What would happen if I tried jumping over this chair? Courage is the part of you that would try, right? To try, to play, to risk, to fail, to attempt. Curiosity asks what would happen if? And courage tries one more question. Curiosity asks the question, what becomes possible when?

In other words, wow, what if I started doing X? What if I went back to school? What if I started the podcast? What if I went for a walk? And the courage muscle invites us to dream. Isn't it so funny how curiosity sometimes traps us in the in the circle of like, huh, what would happen if? What would happen if? But because we don't know, we don't actually dream. Dreaming is a courageous act. That's where I want to leave you today. If I was to ask you, what are you dreaming about today? You may be shocked to go, oh my gosh, I don't think I'm dreaming about anything.

Dreaming is a healthy part of the human experience. So today, as you work on calibrating your enoughness, I invite you to dream and flex that courage to balance out that curiosity, y'all. My friend Kristen Grimes from Denver will be bopping in a couple of hours on this self care Saturday. But if you're like, gosh, I need more today, check out the pre recorded content. Unlike that loaf of bread on your counter or that, you know, half gallon of milk in your fridge, pre recorded content does not stale, does not overripen.

It is sitting there waiting for you. So depending on what you're looking for today, go ahead and scroll and find something that can help you. Otherwise, I'll be back tomorrow morning with a little bit of thin space. Have a good and everybody strength by.
