On a Saturday session the host explores enoughness as a continuous personal-growth practice, affirming that in this moment one is already enough to be curious, speak truth, and give oneself a break.
On Saturdays, we talk about personal growth, personal development, the comparison. On Mondays, we work on what we do. Enoughness is the practice of affirming that you are already, indeed, in this moment, enough to accomplish something. It's a process that is continuous.
The step forward is by saying, right now, here is what I have, y'all. Sometimes, you know, speak wonder. In 20 minutes, you're gonna see the one and only Kristen Grimes coming into town. Have a great day.
Hey, Cadre, we'll let Jason Moraz play us in here on this Saturday morning. Oh, hey, hey. Speak Wonder Jewels. Okay, there we go. Curbside Profit by the one and only Jason Mraz. That song's kind of. Kind of becoming an oldie, but a goodie. Curbside Profit. That song was in my head when I woke up this morning, as I was, as I do every morning, waking up to go ahead and get ready to spend a few minutes with you right here in the Cadre sphere. How are you doing? I hope you're good. I'm seeing all the emojis, the suns, the coffees, the boats, the bowls, all the things y'all speak Wonder.
You're pulling them out. Do you got a clove emoji in there? But I hope you're great. But if you're not great, know that you're still exactly in the right place. You show up here however you are, and you know what happens? You do this good thing for yourself of placing yourself in a community where nothing is expected of you. There's no prerequisite for how you are or for what you know. And on the other side of that, you start telling yourself, hey, you know what? I am on my side. I am attempting to, in this moment, give myself the good stuff.
And the secret, you're giving other people the good stuff by being here with them. So, Saturdays, what do we do? Saturdays, we talk about personal growth, personal development, the comparison. Mondays, we talk about professional development. Here's how I break that down. Saturdays, we work on who we are, knowing who we are, improving who we are, increasing the capacity of this person that we are. And on Mondays, we work on what we do. Professional development is about what we do. Personal development is about who we are.
So I most often kick it off on Saturdays with this idea of enoughness. Enoughness is the practice of affirming that you are already, indeed, in this moment, enough to accomplish something, to give yourself a break, to be curious, to speak your truth, to tap into what you're feeling, your gut and. Oh, Ray, Ray. Exactly. Right? It's a. Not only. Not only is it. Is it a process. It's a process that is continuous. Right. And that may sound daunting, but that's why I think music like this kind of makes me feel like it's personal development day.
Right? It's just this walking down the street, continuing on the journey. It's not about where we're going. It's about what we're doing when we're going to wherever it is we End up. And I'll tell you, sometimes we feel, or sometimes we're sold the idea that we should feel after, you know, working on ourselves, that it should feel like, oh, now I feel good, now I feel better, Now I feel complete. One of the things I say most about this idea of enoughness is that enoughness very rarely feels like it.
Enoughness very rarely feels like it. You know, sometimes it's easier to not think about where we are, honestly. Sometimes it's easier to repress feelings or to distract ourselves, or to confuse ourselves, or to make ourselves feel awful. Do you ever do that? You knock yourself down so you don't have to have anybody else knock you down, or you knock yourself down so you don't have to acknowledge that you're actually in a place where you have some power and some control. Enoughness, if practiced, brings you to that place of going, huh, you know what?
Right now I understand my capacity and what I can do with it. And it's kind of underwhelming. That's enoughness. That's personal development work. Ray, Ray, you said it right. We hear the phrase never ending process, and maybe we go, huh, that sounds daunting. That sounds like not the thing I want to buy into. It would be easier if it's like, hey, do this, do this, and then you'll be awesome. And if you don't do those things, by golly, it's your fault. We learn to think that that's the world we should live in.
But I will always be that squeaky door reminder, that sidewalk profit saying, hey, right now you are capable of something. So your four calibration levers in your enoughness world. First of all, your words are enough today. Check in if you are speaking truthfully and honestly. Number two, your feelings. Your feelings are enough. Check in with your intuition. Are you actually telling your body, hey, I hear you. I'm listening to you. I'm risking to follow where you're guiding me. Number three, your thoughts are enough.
That's your curiosity. How often do you go, huh, I wonder what would happen if. And then you actually act on exploring that place. And then lastly, you are enough. That's your presence right now. Are you actually acknowledging where you are and what you have not? Like, from a gratitude standpoint, but that may play into it. Like what you actually have at your fingertips in terms of building blocks, in terms of tools, in terms of energy, in terms of opportunity and privilege and agency and autonomy.
All of these things help you get moving in the direction you can move. Enoughness. Is honoring the progress I've made. Yeah. And seeing it in the moment for what it is. Sometimes, you know, speak wonder. A very close relative to what you just said is, you know, I look back and I see how far I've come. That's different. Right. That's sending you into, wow, I'm going to spend all my time looking back and. And. And seeing the remnants of. Of growth as if they're sitting on a shelf. Enoughness says, okay, right now I have these things, and I can put them to use.
Which, again, why do you have the things that you have? Maybe some of those things have come from progress, but also maybe some of those things have come from regression. Maybe some of those things have come from you being in a really rough, icky, ugly time of life where there's no progress. Enoughness is saying, right now, here's what I have. So speak wonder. Really think about that. Enoughness is honoring the progress you've made. Enoughness is honoring the regression you've made. Enoughness is honoring the things you have.
Enoughness is honoring the things you don't have. Enoughness is honoring your ability to get up out of bed today. Your enoughness is honoring the fact that you can't get up and out of bed today. And that's why I always say enoughness very rarely feels like it. Like, I don't think you'd ever see on a T shirt or on an inspirational meme site. Enoughness is honoring the regression that you've made. It's like, oh, but you know what? I see a lot of times where people, when they regress, when they fall backwards, what do they do?
They don't honor it. They hide, they clump up, and they don't do anything. So if you haven't had any progress, honor what you have had. Because the step forward, which is moving us into the future and out of the present, the step forward is by saying, right now, here is what I have, y'all. I hope you have a great day. In 20 minutes, you're gonna see the one and only. You're gonna see the one and only Kristen Grimes coming into town right here in the Cadre sphere. Have a.
