We are good enough

It's important to make righteous goals in our lives. It helps us progress and move forward towards our full potential.
It's also important that we don't allow negative thoughts to limit us in our abilities, or to tell us we aren't good enough.
This is one of the adversaries biggest tools that will weaken us.They want to make us feel inadequate, stuck, unsuccessful, hopeless, useless and not worthy of heaven's blessings.
So how do we overcome this cycle of thinking? By building a mind of positive thinking and shielding negative thoughts.
Negative thoughts like to be entertained. Have you ever found yourself having a negative thought, and then that thought becomes 20 different negative thoughts... to the point where you feel completely hopeless as a human being? As silly as this may sound, it's sometimes very accurate of the process.
In order to prevent ourselves from becoming the result of our negative thinking, WE have to change. Once again, WE have to change in order for things to change.
So every single time you find yourself forming a negative thought, finish that thought positively.
Keep a journal/book and write down all the negative thoughts that you have. It's easier to overcome our challenges when we can visually see them. It will also make us realize how wrong the adversary is.
Saying bold statements of truth throughout the day, and when you first wake up is another powerful tool. Examples of these can be:
* I add value to people's lives.
* I am a loved son/daughter of God.
* I am a successful and hard working student/mom/employee.
* Through Jesus Christ, I can overcome my weaknesses.
Its so important to tell ourselves the things that are true and positive, because we become what we think. At first it might be hard to change the way you think. But the change and happiness that will come from it outweighs the hardness.
God wants us to see the future with a bright and positive outlook, full of opportunities. As soon as we let ourselves believe we are good enough, we can create and become the person God intended us to be. We weren't sent for failure here. We were sent here to shine and rise above the things of this world. So with this being said, as children of God, WE are good enough.
