Read These 70 Quotes If You Feel Like You will Never Be Enough

Feeling that you are not good enough can make you doubt yourself. It can make you not satisfied with yourself! You might not want to face this part because it resembles such high pain and failure. No matter where you look or what you do, you may feel the world is never satisfactory.

Yet, your whole world isn’t to surround the idea of ‘perfect.’ In fact, it is about taking all of you in, accepting where you are, who you are, and who you strive to be. The key here is “as they are” or “as I am.” If your standards are too high, you will set yourself up for failure, even for yourself. Question: Are you living your life if you are too busy trying to reach high standards? Do you even get to a higher standard? Or do you only reach a few and fall to failure, resulting in being depressed and low? If you are going too high and you’re depressed, then you may need to rethink your attitude towards life. Instead of reaching for the highest expectation or standard, find and get that reach for yourself.
