Am I good enough?

Pick Me!
Pick Me!
Pick Me!

Anyone else ever feel like we go through this our entire lives?
When your born you seek your parents love and affection.
When your little you hope the popular kids want to be your friends.
When you reach adolescence you hope the boy/girl you like, likes you.
When you finish school you hope the company you are dreaming of working for hires you.
When your dating you hope the grown man/woman of your dreams asks to be with you forever.

I often recall in life, times where I was trying my HARDEST to be "picked"...I was NEVER picked.
Left feeling alone, and undesired.
But then, when I constantly work on self improvement and competition in all avenues of life...
Work..Career...Business... Health.. Beauty.. Spirituality... Education.. Mental Strength..Humility...Love..
There become way too many options to choose from. All that seem to have "chosen me" in one way or the other... I digress... this is not a "grass is always greener on the other side" Post...

So let me re-direct My Thoughts...

What is the easy answer for what/who you strive to be?
Other then God's Child striving to follow his footsteps and become the Christian he calls you to be....
Have you set a Bar for "Good Enough" or Excellence of one self/"You"...
If you have been able to determine what that might be for YOU...what are you measuring against?
How did you come about that set marker? What will you do when you reach that? Stop working hard to better yourself?

Whatever you do.... don't set the Marker based on any other human being's acceptance.
Its a good chance YOU are your number one supporter, and motivator to be better/best/great.
Even if you don't know it yet. :)
Maybe this will be a wakeup call for you...and me..
