I had the pleasure of spending the day with the Houghs at their Move Event here in Hollywood. I came for work and reasons I can't yet disclose. Prior to coming to work at Nutra, I had never before heard of Derek or Julianne Hough. In fact, I've never even seen Dancing with the Stars.
Well, I have to say I was enthralled today. I love seeing people excel. Julianne and Derek are masters at their trade. I thrill to think how all of us incarnate with different talents and skills. And it fascinates me beyond measure to think that Julianne and Derek both decided they loved dance enough to dedicate their lives to it. I think of the countless hours of training they dedicate to stay masters of their art. I know what it takes to excel. I wonder if that is why I love seeing the other arenas of interest my fellow divine beings decide to pursue. Dancing is something I was never drawn too. But watching them move made me wonder if I too could have become that good? I have no desire now. I'd rather simply watch and enjoy their perfection.
Watching this all today made me reflect upon the fact that we all are insanely good at something.
And listening to the motivational messages shared by the Houghs made me realize once again that everyone struggles with the same underlying issues. The Houghs talked a lot about feeling "Not Good Enough." I have felt that before. In fact, it wasn't until the last year or so that I really worked on not needing to prove anything more. I made a conscious effort to realize I was already enough. No more achievements, positions, possessions, activities, you name were ever going to be enough until I realized I was already enough. Recognizing this truth is one of the most liberating realizations of life. I'm so grateful I achieved this awakening at such an early age. Some may achieve it earlier, but unfortunately, too many don't till later if ever at all.
I am enough. I find myself saying that whenever I think I need to achieve one more thing. Whenever I feel striving arising, I take a pause and recite "I am enough." Pretty cool to know that the Hough's both also struggled with not feeling good enough. Pretty cool to know that Brooklyn, and Lori, and all the many others I was blessed to befriend today have been there too. We are all more the same than we are different. And we are all enough!
