I have never commented on here because I’ve always felt that I can’t express my words as well as others do on this site. Anyway, I just want to say that I feel “good enough” (cracks and all) and I’m going to remind myself of this daily.
Thank you for another wonderful and inspiring story.
Nancy

I thought we were among the lucky couples who know it’s ‘forever.’ I had no idea he had a mistress, to whom he is now married. I have been existing because of my two daughters, but I’ll be glad when this all ends.

The ending made me smile, and I haven’t done much of that lately since my only child passed away about two months ago. I’m feeling pretty cracked these days but my son had an upbeat, energizing personality; spreading sunshine everywhere he went. So when I start to focus on my cracks, I must work harder at remembering he was MY son and I’ll always be his Mom.

But this time I wish they would have given us some kind of words of instruction on how to practice feeling good enough. It sounds like such a simple thing to do but it feels so incredibly overwhelming.

I still feel “less than”. I don’t know how to get to the place of the others who have commented.

Just the story I needed today..I happen to love flowers so I will visually see my cracks as a chance to bloom

I have been feeling anxious since few days and was blaming myself for everything. But after reading this essay I felt comfortable.

Everyday, I feel like I’m not good enough. I’ve always felt like the weakest link in my family, with my friends , on my job. But, reading this gave me the confidence to move forward. You guys are great!

I’m in the same boat. Knowing that I’m not the only on with problems but it still drags me down. Low self esteem and self confidence and other things are problems for me but unable to find someone to talk about it w/o sounding dumb. One of those issues is my baggage stemming from something that happened over 24 yrs ago but that is on me and no one else.

Sometimes the words we hear everyday when we are a child, stick with us and mess us up. You hear it from our fathers, family, men or women we marry and coworkers. The tongue is vicious and hurtful. No one is perfect, except Jesus. This story was greatly needed because at 70 years old I am finding out that the people we put in our circle, should be the ones who lift us up, not down. Today, I am on the road to healing and this road will take me closer to God. His words are what brings him to us, to open our eyes to the love of God and the people who follow Him. He will mend everything in us that is flawed. The evil one brings these cracks and Jesus seals them. Great story and I will be more confident and positive. Thank you both.

The timing on this spot on for me. As I read this, I feel my shoulders lowering, my jaw less clenched and a taking a deep breath. I’ve been feeling less than for a few months, especially after a few blows personally and professionally that have left me feeling unworthy. Thank you Marc and Angel, for the wonderful encouragement.
