The nail was bent so badly that it would never be good enough.
The donor liver is in such bad shape, that it will never be good enough.
The Chinese will never be good enough to land a man on the moon. (next year)
I was building a barn and wanted to do it for the least amount of cost. I went from place to place asking if I could tear down they’re old out buildings.
I built my barn with just enough material that was “Good Enough” for what I needed, it came pretyy drn good too. I bought up some recyclyed paint that was just “GGood Enough” and the barn looked Just Good Enought that people thtought it ws a Brand new Building.
Even though it was old reused just good
enough material, it was a ………. Brand New Building.
Me neither. My birthparents didn’t want me (bmom gave me up for adoption then spent the rest of her life complaining about not having a daughter – guess I wasn’t good enough to fulfill her wishes), adoptive parents and siblings didn’t want me, husband didn’t want me, and I’ve been good enough for no one since.
It’s taken me decades to learn to try and live an “internally motivated” life. Not every day is easy; it still hurts to see people whose lives are filled with love, and realize I’m not good enough to be worthy of that. But I take joy in little things along the way, focus on my hobbies and my pets, and I’ve reached a point where I’m happy most of the time.

Good enough is a relative term,…….

Goode enough is relative.

It’s a feeling, not a reality x.O And it’s pretty damn hard to shake. Isn’t that right?
yes.
Can’t you try being ‘good enough’ for yourself? It is YOU who is important.
