Often, the biggest barrier to belonging is working too hard to fit in. As counterintuitive as it sounds, it can be a good idea to stop trying to adapt, and instead learn how to stand tall in your own skin. You are already more than enough, you don’t need to achieve anything extra, change anything, or have someone else’s opinion validate this fact because it’s inherent in who you are. 

 

When you engage in the world from this place of knowing that you are already more than enough, you feel free to express who you are, and in doing so, feel more free to take the risks required to deeply connect and contribute. 

 

You are unique, and there is something only you can bring. So be yourself, and help others be themselves, too.
