“I am enough” can be the verbal equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and yelling “la la la la la… everything is fine!” while the house is on fire.  And, no matter how many daily affirmations you say to yourself in the mirror, those liabilities aren’t going away.  In that striving to convince ourselves and others that we are self-sufficient, we drive ourselves into physical and emotional sickness.   

It’s possible to take in soundwaves through your ear canal, have them register on your ear drum and never actually hear what another person is saying. So much of our breakdown today is this, not hearing one another. We then make up all kinds of things about the other person based on what we think we heard. Abracadabra – division.

It’s tempting to live life reacting to what you don’t want, but it will never actually get you to the destination you are called to. It’s like driving through live, but only looking in the rearview mirror - you are destined for an accident. Being certain about what you don’t want is not the same as being certain about where you are headed.
