Everyone should be tall, thin, healthy, wealthy, intelligent, witty, attractive. This can leave us with the feeling of “not enough.” We fall victim to a downward spiral of believing we are not smart enough, successful enough, wealthy enough, attractive enough, and that we don’t have enough or do enough.
