Your attention may be focused on what you lack in life today, which might make you feel insecure. Perhaps your feelings of inadequacy are because you are thinking about what you don't have rather than all the gifts you possess. If you can remind yourself that you will always strive to have more and that you will never feel complete unless you let go of your need to have everything in your life seem perfect, you may find that your life is already full. To make it easier to see how blessed you are, you might create a list of the things that you positively contribute to your family, friends, and local community that could help you feel more confident about who you are and your current situation. Seeing what you have and what you can offer others may make it easier for you to focus on the positive, instead of the negative, aspects of your life.

Recognizing that we will never achieve satisfaction from the external world until we are content with ourselves allows us to release our sense of lack and open up to true fulfillment. Once we realize that true security rests in our view of ourselves and how we fit into the world around us, we are able to focus on more important aspects of our existence, such as our relationship with and connection to our spirit. As you let go of your fears about not having enough today, you will find that you are already a complete being just as you are.
