I might not...

I might not make as much money as I would like,

But I have a fun job that pays me pretty well,

Perhaps at times I spend more money then I should,

But I have a plan in place and am getting better,

I might not live in a swanky apartment in downtown St. Paul yet,

But I am lucky enough to live with one of my best friends of over 20 years,

Perhaps I could take that place that got offered to me last week,

But I know that right now the time is not right,

I might not have the perfect degree or the right educational background,

But I loved my program and learned so much,

Perhaps I will yet again return to school to explore more options,

But right now I am enjoying not having homework,

I might not have a body that will end up on the cover of a fitness magazine,

But I look pretty damn good with my shirt off,

Perhaps my body will continue to get stronger, leaner,

But fitness is a marathon not a sprint,

I might not always do the best workouts,

But I will find ways to be active every single day,

Perhaps I do not always eat healthy and avoid sweets,

But most days my diet revolves around eating foods that help my body thrive,

I might not always be jumping out of my pants happy,

But life is about the ups and the downs, and I have discovered how to embrace the good and the bad,

Perhaps I am not always suppose to be happy,

But instead learn how to roll with the punches,

I might not always be cool, calm, and collected,

But I continue to practice meditation daily and my anxiety has damn near left my life completely,

Perhaps at times I am too judgmental,

But as I continue to evolve I try to see the best in everyone,

I might not always be accepting,

But I will do my best to understand your point of view,

Perhaps I am a little too strong-minded; perhaps I demand the attention of the room a little too often,

But I will listen to you with an open mind and an open heart,

I might not always be the best friend I can be,

But when times are tough and you need me I will be there,

Perhaps I could be a better son, a better brother,

But I love my family the best I can,

I might not have been the best husband I could have been,

But I did a lot of things right and I am committed to understanding my mistakes and moving forward,

Perhaps at times I have gone against the little voice in my head even when I knew I should not,

But that little voice has never left and will continue to guide me,

I might piss you off at times, hurt your feelings, say something mean,

But I hope you understand it is never about you but instead a reflection of the struggles I have within,

Perhaps there are more things I could do right, more things I should know,

But I am committed to continual improvement for myself,

I might at times get lost in focusing on the negatives,

But more and more I am grateful for the positives,

So it is obvious I am not perfect but here is the key that I have learned and try to embrace everyday:

 I AM ENOUGH
