“There are some of us who are recovered “I’m not good enough addicts, and some of us who are still recovering.”
-Iyanla Vanzant
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
It is interesting to think about feeling “not good enough” as an addiction.

the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity.
addicted /adjective/
physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance, thing, or activity, and unable to stop taking it without incurring adverse effects.
In what ways have you demonstrated an addiction to feeling not good enough? Think about that for a moment...
In Until Today Daily Devotions for Spiritual Growth and Peace of Mind, Iyanla Vanzant shares her perspective on feeling not good enough:
As long as you believe that you are not good enough, you will never feel good enough.
What is your personal strength?
How can you leverage your strength to benefit others as well as yourself?
As long as you are not good enough, you cannot, will not, take responsibility for the truth of who you are.
What makes you unique?
How can you show up more authentically?
