Most people are way sensitive to almost everything. Feeling not good enough is like a plague that eats you up from within. Sense of self-worth is tremendously important and the way to retain the element of Self-worth is to realise you had better to quit comparing yourself with those around you; to admit you do not have to pretend to be someone you're not. We have no Idea how powerful and strong we can feel once we cease to follow in the footsteps of those who we mistakenly consider perfect. It equips us with extremely positive energy to see and acquiesce ourselves for who we're.

GREAT REALIZATION, you reclaimed what you always were, but now you know it! "Making mistakes, is intelligence having fun, in the process of realization." ~Christopher Arthur Minor. Without realizing what we are not, we can not know what we are. "The concept that making mistakes is wrong, is like measuring the value of a fish, by its ability to climb a tree." ~Christopher Arthur Minor. As can be seen by this example, they are absent of thinking, yet we were told these idiots were wise. Now that is funny!

Childhood trauma that parents have never realised how bad they can cause their own child. Always considered what your child will think or feel. Telling your child with the sentence "it's not your fault" is really important.

1) forgiveness (forgive yourself for the mistakes youve done, forgive others) 2) trust ( trust in the process, have faith, trust in yourself, trust others) 3) accept your mistakes and focus on your strengths and then ur passion will come through

Using drugs or alcohol is only a symptom. Finding out why we started using is so important, Mine was a lack of being connected and I would say the majority of could say the same thing. I have also learned that there is a lot of power in forgiveness "Complete Forgiveness" that means no more I forgive you but I won't forget. Again total forgiveness. But forgiving myself was so much harder, My forgiveness came though helping others and working on myself to be the person I wanted to be. And I will never allow myself to quit growing as a person .

Thank you for your constant courage, your bravery, and your ability to be confidently vulnerable. Your service to others is inspiring to our entire team! Together we are stronger! Much love!

Your testimony is phenomenal. Seeing you speak in person at Longfellow middle today was a blessing ! I don't know how many lives you touched today but I promise you that some of those 7th graders heard your words and will now know that they are enough and that there are people that really want to help. Thank you Nadine.

Growing up, be the proud daughter of my parents, an admirable person to my friends, objectively I achieved a lot.but I am still unhappy and keep feeling worthless and self-loth because I never feel good enough.

Being 14 1/2 years clean and sober and tell my testimony as much as I can, I'm spook proud of you and the strength you have. You're spook awesome and it comes out in you along with your passion. You're blessed and I love you!!

thank you dear. it took me 12 years to understand the root of my problem, and you help me take the next step to recovery

I can relate 100% , you are brave to stand up and not be afraid.

Wow... I'm good enough.. Thank so much Nadine..

Starting at 5:35, good point, when you're initial worries go away, see if they are being covered or distracted by something that makes you feel good. So, stay focused, it's ok to have worries and issues, find ways to accept those and ways to help them instead of trying to avoid them or find a way to just feel good.

Nadine, you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Not many people can do that, only those who have heald and found what they realy are inside. That is ENLIGHTENMENT and I am glad that you found the light and now you are enlighten others, ease their pain and show the way. You tought me too: Forgivness, Acceptance and Trust. Thank you!

You made me cry! It's really touching coz all of us probably feel not enough one way or another. Thank you Nadine :)

Tnx to the blessing of the social web we no longer have to physically look for a recovery but instead we can now watch from a far on someone with similar thoughts, we can see our actions with in there story, I too share a struggle of not feeling enough, now I can face certain struggles by letting go certain things in my life that helped me fight certain obstacles once again to gain control of my life, it's still hard to face things but I know I am not alone and that were stronger then what we believe is impossible can be made possible by faith we trust.

"Forgiveness, trust, and acceptance" A great life story. We all have something to share. Our stories are lessons for ourselves and others; thus, we all should share our stories. The other thing is to practice forgiveness we have to practice forget. Every and each one makes mistakes. We make mistakes because of emotion or bad spirits or whatever. So, We should not punish the person; we should not see criminals. Thank you!
