Am I Good Enough? | Ajahn Brahm | 28 April 2017

Ajahn Brahm reflects deeply on the idea “I am not good enough”. Are you good enough? Why is that we always think it’s not good enough?
Ajahn talks about how you can never satisfy the reach of what other people ask of you and to stop worrying about what other people think of you and trying to please others.

When I'm ill or stressed I listen to Ajahn... he is so calming and makes me feel so positive. :)

I was there. Amazing meditation and speech!

I love you Ajahn! Thank you for showing me that the negative thoughts in my head are not only in mine. That I'm not alone in constantly feeling like I'm failing to the point of never being able to celebrate my achievements. Finding compassion for myself seems to be so much more difficult than finding it for others.

I have the flu and feeling miserable. I don’t like taking flu medicine so I listen to Ajahn Brahm. He makes me laugh! 😝 I guess he’s my medicine.

Thank you Ajahn Brahm for these wonderful talks making Buddha's teachings so accessible and practical. Love the jokes and the stories! Each day I try to take at least one advice and apply it as the main practice of my day.

I enjoyed what he said about horrible bosses at work. He’s absolutely right! we only have to deal with horrible bosses while we are at work. They have to deal with themselves for 24/7!!!

Discovered Ajahn Brahm's discourses yesterday and I just can't stop listening to him. Thank you so much for these talks, amazing. I just took my second 10 days of Vipassana course at the end of December and I am working on my path as I found it very beneficial.Quit smoking, too :) Which was amazing as in those 10 I basically forgot I was a smoker :) Not once I felt the need to smoke one. So, yes learning, practicing and trying hard to forgive myself :)

Thanks for another wonderful teaching.
I want to make people aware of dementia and Alzheimers. If you or a loved one may be "changing" in ways you do not understand, please go to a doctor. My mother was changing, and our wonderful doctor has helped her gain many years back with therapies to help her dementia slow down.
Robin Williams had Lewy Body Dementia. In his autopsy, they said he had more Lewy bodies than they had ever seen.
Be wise. Seek help from kind people if you need it.
