The biggest thing that people
believe about themselves is that
they're not good enough.
They spend their lives proving
to themselves and to others
that they can pass the test.
But what's the point of living
life if you're living it in fear
of being found out?
Let's admit it: we're all
broken people. We all
mess up sometimes.
If 'good enough' means
perfect, then none of us
are like that.
If 'good enough' means
being a significant person,
all of us are that.
The world punishes those
who make a mess,
and that's fair enough.
But there's always a reason
behind the mess, a
motivation for action.
For some people,
getting out of bed may
be their 'good enough'.
For others, they don't
feel enough until they
hit a target.
They climb the hill
only to fall down again
and climb again.
What if it's not what we
do but who we are that
makes the difference?
The purpose of life is
not to be the best, the
most moral person.
The purpose of life is
to love, even when people
aren't the best.
We are significant people
and that is what makes
us good enough.
