The answer to that rhetorical question is: yes of course you are!

One important thing for us all to understand about life is that it never sends us anything that we are incapable of dealing with. God/The All That Is/Source has a view and opinion of us that we are, we always have been, and always will be… good enough. It is just not possible for Source to create something that is not good enough – and that includes you, and me, and everyone else having this physical experience. And yet, we still question that don’t we.

As we go through life we experience contrast – i.e those little, and sometimes not so little (!), bumps and jolts that provide us with opportunities to learn and grow. However we have the propensity to see them as negative, too hard, and usually bloody annoying! It’s all about perception. Remember, we came here to have this physical experience in order to take part in contrast. That’s the whole point. As we learn and grow, so too does the All That Is because, like it or not, we are all a part of it and can never be separated from it. Separation from Source and from each other is just an illusion. A useful illusion in many senses because it allows us the opportunity of experiencing different aspects of the whole, such that we can learn from these interactions.

No matter where you are on your own development path, you are always good enough. For many years I struggled with the notion that I am good enough to teach the people who come to me. I had this “thing” going on in my head that I needed “just one more qualification” or “just one more course” and I’d have enough to be taken as a credible spiritual teacher, mentor, and coach. The thing is, the more courses I did from this aspect, the more I felt there was always more for me to learn before I could be taken seriously. In some respects this was actually very true – there is always more for me to learn and not a day goes past without my learning something new. I also needed to learn that to be taken seriously as a teacher and mentor all I actually needed to do was believe in myself.

Whether or not we see it this way: Every one of us teaches others; Every one of us is also always learning and developing; Every one of us will continue teaching and learning until the day we leave this physical world; Every one of us will continue teaching and learning after we leave this physical experience. The All That Is, is constantly creating and expanding and, because we are a part of this, so too are we.

So no matter where we are on our own development path, we will always be good enough to teach those who come to us. Always. We may not end up teaching them what they initially came to us for but teach them we will. The key here is not to compare ourselves with those who are teaching us, or those who come to us for teaching. There will always be those who are further along their path than we, and there will always be those who are not.

So cut yourself a bit of slack and love yourself for exactly where you are right now. Remind yourself that if someone comes to you to learn something, it’s because they believe you can otherwise they wouldn’t be knocking on your door. The All That Is, never gets things wrong, so learn to accept that it wouldn’t have sent those people or challenges to you if it didn’t think you were good enough to deal with them. Affirm to yourself “I am good enough”
