I AM

There is a pervasive money monster that whispers you are not enough, it's (whatever it may be) is not enough.  This monster has it's victim by the heart, squeezing and twisting and convinced that when reality is checked by comparing oneself to others, the message is clear, I AM NOT ENOUGH. Speaking these words are painful utterances, they belie years of feeling inadequate no matter what the circumstances, no matter what the evidence of success and no matter what truths others might speak to the victim of this vicious monster. In a world gone mad with accomplishments and accolades for the ultra successful (read wealthy here), this monster of you are not enough holds particular sway, at least until it, the monster that is, is exposed mid whisper~herein lies the opportunity for the maligned victim of this customary assault to say I AM...you fill in your own statement, declaring what YOU ARE, rather than what the monster wants you to believe.  I heard a great line today that goes something like "I don't deal with untruths"...make of this what you will, I for one, kinda like it.
