Enoughness 101

Hey there, cadre. How are you? My friends. And my friends, I mean all of y'all. People I don't know yet. Some people call those strangers. I call them people I don't know yet. So those who I see frequently here in the cadre sphere, I mean you too when I say friends. For those that I see outside of cadre. I mean you as well. You are all few of my favorite things. Little Leslie Odom to get us going this morning. How are you doing? Seems like the days just keep changing every 24 hours don't they? It seems like they keep going fast and then going slow and there's the good ones and there's the bad ones.

Jocelyn good morning. Hey D that that seems like life keeps happening. How are you doing with it? I hope you're doing good. But even if you're not, you're still in the right place. On Saturdays we talk about developing personally. My distinction between personally, professionally. Personally is when we talk about who we are. Professionally is when we talk about what we do. Those two things, it's like a Venn diagram, right? Often those two things have a great amount of influence on one another. But if we can isolate for a moment and say, "Hey, who am I?"

I always like finishing that statement, "I am" or answering the question, "Who am I?" This way, "I am." It's kind of popular lately, enough. And I don't mean that in a pandering way or in a you don't ever have to change way. Because guess what? We do have to change. We're always changing. We're changing from good to better, from better to worse. We're always changing. The world around us is changing. So when I use the term "nothingness ," it's not a term saying, "Hey, love yourself. Don't think about yourself, pander to yourself."

No, it's actually kind of the opposite. You're like, "Wait, so we're not supposed to do those things?" I think it's kind of the order in how we do those things. Culture seems to say, "Hey, once you are good enough, then you should take a break. Be nice yourself. Love yourself." Once you kick your butt at the gym, then you should give yourself a big hug. Right? "Enoughness" says, "No, actually, J ules, good morning, my friend." And four son emojis noted. I see it. Right? "Enoughness" says, "Not actually you in your current state right now and always are capable of doing some pretty remarkable things and even more important of being a really remarkable person."

How does that change our action? Well, all of a sudden, we don't have to become good enough to start doing the things that we feel called to do. So my invitation, knowing that, it's kind of a gloomy part of the year, right? The days are getting shorter and darker and colder. I bet you a nickel, you will have a day or you have in the last seven, where you didn't feel like in your current state you're capable of accomplishing very much. I want you to think in those moments , "What am I capable of doing right now?"

That will bring me fulfillment or joy or reminder of my vision and goals. So I'm like a professional, "No, it's a good help." And we work within our personal world as well. It's funny enough, it's not gonna or ask to think about our "Enoughness" or we don't feel enough. That's what we notice, but not to the "Enoughness" showing up. So Jasey says, "Hey, how are you doing today?" Well, I guess that is right guess why or only this, but I guess that's right now all of a sudden they go, "I will answer the question but also show that I actually am not enough."

If you go, "Hey, you know what? Today I am really feeling called to dancing in the living room with my dogs." You may go, "How is that going to affirm "Enoughness?" Well, ask the dogs how that would make them feel. Ask yourself how it would make you feel if your dogs were like, "Wow, our human really great gave us the stuff today." Then how would that make you feel on the other side? Probably pretty darn good. And good leads to good. Motivation leads to motivation. I'll tell you, all y'all hopping on cadre this morning is a really good sign that you are affirming your "Enoughness."

Jules, I'm excited you are going to Colorado. Jocelyn, MDOTDot, everybody who has crept in since live has begun today. You're doing it. You're doing something that is innately good for you. That's a really good indicator that all the beings that exist within your being, all the voices, the good, the bad, the loud, the quiet , they're going, "I see you. I got you. Here we go." Y'all have a great weekend ahead and I will see you soon. Have a good night.
