Great post, Linda!

People need to stop trying for perfection all the time- and be fine with “good enopugh”. this is especially true online, when you can always edit your reoort, blog post, or ebook later…

This has always been my biggest problom with everything. Not feeling good enough. Part of my problom I got rid of, an emotionaly and mentaly abusive husband. But I still have to deal with this feeling even though he’s gone.

It’s encouraging to know that I’m not the only one having doubts about being good enough. As a beginning freelancer, I don’t have magazine clips to bolster my confidence. Instead, I try to fall back on what I do have (a couple of full-blown thesis manuscripts, which are not ‘consumer mag’ material, but I invested blood, sweat and tears, all the same). And I tell myself, in the end, the only thing I’ll really regret is not trying. So, I stubbornly plow ahead.

Hi Linda,

Thanks so much for writing this post. That is exactly what stops me. Am I good enough? I even walk around with the last page of my undergrad thesis with my professor’s comments on it. Nevermind that there’s a big fat A on there, I like reading his comments over and over again. I find them very uplifting. Another thing I like to do is to list my qualities, all the good stuff. After that I feel so much better.
