I’m good enough, I’m smart enough to remember Al Franken’s Stuart Smalley character from Saturday Night Live.
Stuart, who was not a licensed therapist (unlike me) often said “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
Yesterday, I was good enough and smart enough to talk to another licensed therapist about Stuart Smalley and that catchphrase. In EMDR therapy, I’ve been working on believing that I’m good enough and smart enough to trust myself, and I imagined saying those affirmations to myself and believing them.
I’m good enough, I’m smart enough to realize that even though Stuart was a character on a sketch comedy show, he is still good enough and smart enough to help others, including myself.
Are my images for today good enough and smart enough?
Thanks to all those who are good enough and smart enough to help me create this daily blog, including YOU.
You are a lot more than good enough and smart enough. You are kind enough and helpful enough and resourceful enough and musical enough and funny enough and…. Joan enough!
It takes one to know one, my friend!
Love all of the quotes, poem, etc! Great words wise words! xo
Love your comments! 💕
You are good enough and smart enough and, gosh darn it, people like you.
I find it really hard to think of just one favorite poem but once, at the grave of Dylan Thomas, I recited some lines of his: “Time held me green and dying/Though I sang in my chains like the sea.”
Thanks for being good enough and smart enough, my likable friend.
Very good topic! I wonder why it’s so easy for capable people to slip into feeling “not good enough.”
Thanks for this very good comment, Debbie.
we are enough.
Good enough, my good friend.
You are and so am I, Ann!
We are, Mark!
