A

common

thought

during

depression.

 

An

irrational

statement.

 

Everything

is

an

unrealistic

term,

an

over-generalization

an

over-exageration.

 

Not

good

enough?

 

As

compared

to

what?

 

By

who's

standards?

 

Perfection

is

unattainable.

 

Something

is

always

comparibly

better

or

comparibly

worse,

depending

on

what

is

compared

to,

in

the

mind

of

the

one

comparing.

 

Be

satisfied

with

what

you

do,

doing

the

best

you

can

at

any

moment.

 

What

more

can

anyone

do?

 

When

you

breathe

is

it

not

good

enough?

 

Everything

you

do

is

sufficient

now

and

the

best

you

can

do

at

this

moment,

the

next

and

every

moment.

 

Accept

and

embrace

all

that

you

do

as

it

is.

     Foot in mouth I know this

I've had depression since the age 28-30.

     Everything I thought was'nt good enough.

Now since I'm 52, I married, that wasn't good

enough for my husband. Not only that, but,

everything I do for my soon to be, exhusband

will never, ever be good enough. I could do

anything he wants, that wouldn't be so called

good enough. You want to know somthing else?

He never was happy, never will be happy,and

there isn't nothing I care to do to change it

because he has to change that him self.

     Don't get the wrong idea, I'm talking about him.
