The Myth of “Not Enough”

Hey Reader,

When was the last time you said, “I don’t have time to…” or “I can’t afford to…”?
If you’re like most of us, probably within the last 24 hours - or 24 minutes. 🙄

“I don’t have enough…” is a common component of feeling stuck, whether it's personal, professional, emotional, financial, relational, or spiritual. Beneath every version of that statement lives one sneaky, universal belief: lack.

Not enough knowledge. Not enough experience. Not enough time, money, confidence, energy, love, worth, value, or support.
Whatever the form, the story is the same - I’m not enough, or I don’t have enough.

Yes, sometimes circumstances are real - resources are limited, timing is off - but more often, “not enough” is code for uncertainty, fear, or misalignment. It’s easier to say I can’t than I’m scared, I’m unsure, or It’s just not that important to me right now.

Try this: next time you catch yourself saying “I don’t have time” or “I can’t afford it,” pause and ask,

“Is that really true? Or is this about willingness, priorities, or fear?”

Be honest with yourself. You’ll usually find it’s not about lack at all - it’s about choice.

Still arguing with me in your head? Perfect. That means you’re close. 😉

If you truly believe it’s about time or money, do a quick reality check:
How much did you spend at Starbucks this week? Or Amazon? How long did you scroll on Instagram or binge watching Netflix?

No shame! None of those things are wrong - they just make a point: We always find the means for what matters most - even if what matters is avoiding discomfort.

But every time we tell the story of “not enough,” we reinforce it.
Lack attracts lack - and we just get more of the same.

So next time you hear yourself say “I don’t have…”, try shifting it to:

“I’m not willing.”
“I don’t choose to.”
or even, simply — “No, thank you.”

It’s honest. It’s freeing. It's empowering! And it pulls you out of lack and into alignment.

When your words match your Truth, your energy rises - and life starts to respond in kind.

Now go get ’em, Tiger! 🐅

So much love,❤️
