I had a powerful conversation with my counselor Eleanor a while back about insecurity. She said to me, "Mike when you're feeling insecure, it's important to understand which aspect of yourself is feeling insecure. The child within you is asking, 'Am I getting enough?' The adolescent within you is asking, 'Am I good enough?' And, the young adult within you is asking, 'Am I doing enough?' Your insecurity often comes from one of these three places – erroneously thinking that you're not enough." Eleanor then said, "However, the wisest part of you, the 'spiritual adult' within you, answers these three questions by simply saying, 'Yes!'"
In this week’s video blog, I explore these three questions and how we can let go of our thoughts and feelings of not getting enough, being good enough, or doing enough… ultimately remembering that we are enough just as we are right now!
Feel free to share your thoughts, insights, or questions about this with me and others on my blog.

Today and everyday think of all the great things that are taking place in your life. I'm not saying this just because it's the start of a new work week.
