Sometimes it seems as though the entire human experience vibrates on the idea of not enough. I know personally, I walked around with the constant narrative in my head about how who I was what not enough, what I did was not enough or wrong and before recovery, there was certainly never enough food. When this whole virus broke out was that what was driving the madness about toilet paper? Clearly, we learned there was not enough for the excess we thought was needed. Now in the stores, I see a plethora of toilet paper. The miraculousness of our design as human beings comes from the designer. God is always enough. God exists as enoughness. When we remember how we were created, we recognize that we are enough as well. Our minds are creative with their fear stories and come up with all kinds of forms of not enough. Most of the stories are based on a particular experience but we internalized the context of the moment as a static experience. Perhaps it is because the mind needed a way to externalize the reality of itself. Our minds alone are not enough. We need the cooperation of our hearts and souls to know the plethora of life as it is present in this moment. When I am experiencing not enough of anything, it is an indication of seeing things only through the lens of my mind. The moment I stop and take a breath, I engage my heart which contains all kinds of reminders about how there is a plethora of whatever I truly need at this moment. The plethora of love alone that I tap into when I engage my heart is enough to even communicate to my mind that all is well. I choose to be grateful for the reminder that my mind to connect to the plethora of love in my heart each time it rattles on about something not being enough.
