You Are Enough: A Spoken Word Meditation

This short spoken word meditation is a gentle reminder that you are enough—just as you are—and that your enough is something worth celebrating.
Written in two parts, the first section invites you to listen as words of affirmation are spoken directly to you, reminding you of your worth, and your inherent value. In the second section, you are encouraged to make those words your own, shifting from “You are enough” to “I am enough.” Listen whenever you need a reminder that you are magnificent, you are worthy of love...just as you are.

If I could look you in the eyes. I would tell you that you are enough. And you're enough is amazing. I would tell you that people may say to you that you are not attractive enough, That you are not thin enough, Or that you are not smart enough. They may tell you directly in words or indirectly with images that you will think you must live up to. I would tell you that these images, These expectations, These judgments are their ideas. Their impositions, And even their own insecurities. I would tell you these things do not have to be your reality. I would tell you that magnificence is born on the inside. And it is your decision if you are to be magnificent. You will decide that you are magnificent. You will decide that you are worthy of love. I would tell you that there is a light within you and it is a light that burns brightly. I would tell you that you must allow yourself to let it shine and that no one can darken your brilliance. I would tell you that you must love yourself inside and out, And that you must love yourself fiercely. I would tell you that sometimes it will be a fight, But you must never give up. I would tell you that you must cherish your mind, Your soul, Your physical body. So that when the world imposes its view of who you should be and what you should look like, You already know you are. And I would tell you to stand steadfast in this knowledge of who you are, Where you are going, And who you will become. I am enough. And my enough is amazing. People may say to me that I am not pretty enough, Not thin enough, Or smart enough. They may tell me directly in words or indirectly with images that I will think I must live up to. These images, These expectations, These judgments are their ideas, Their impositions, And even their own insecurities. They are not my reality. Magnificence is born on the inside, And it is my decision if I am to be magnificent. I decide that I am magnificent. I decide that I am worthy of love. There is a light within me, And it is a light that burns brightly. I allow myself to let it shine, And no one can darken my brilliance. I know that I must love myself inside and out, And that I must love myself fiercely. I know that sometimes it will be a fight, But I must never give up. I am choosing to cherish my mind, My soul, And my physical body so that when the world imposes its view of who I should be and what I should look like, I already know I am. And I stand steadfast in this knowledge of who I am, Where I am going, And who I will become.
