I wrote the following months ago for a loved one who had bravely walked away from an abusive relationship.  At the time I was afraid she was going to go back and I wanted her to know that she was strong enough to get through it.  When I shared it, it seemed to resonate with other people too.  I think the message is true for all of us.  The love that is in us and around us is immeasurable.  At any given moment all we need to do is stop and breathe it in, knowing we really are enough.

You Are Enough

You are enough.
You do not need another person to bring you happiness, safety, or otherwise “complete” you.
You are beautiful and talented and LOVED.
Whether they tell you or not, there are people whose lives are BETTER because YOU are in them.
You have an endless supply of strength and power available to you if you just take time to plug into it.
Everything you need to get to where you are meant to go will find you.
It’s safe to let go.
You’re in good hands.
You get to decide what kind of life you will have.
You can choose to be happy, see the silver lining.
You can also go back.
But before you do, please remember…
You are beautiful.
You are brave.
You are brilliant
and…

YOU ARE ENOUGH!

What about you?  Have you learned this lesson?  Have you bravely walked away from a relationship or situation and come out stronger?  Do you have advice for others on plugging in and realizing the truth of love around and within them?
