“When you look at your passions, your interests, and your own self, and see nothing of worth, then know that life will feed this belief back to you. If you can find a way to value yourself without exerting your will or your effort anymore, you will find that you need to do less, to shine more.”
Kelly Martin“Are you able to open to the possibility that what you want is not what you need right now? If it was what you needed it would be in your life, right now, and it would come effortlessly.”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“Some of you may feel that if you don't do something soon to change your life, you will be left by the roadside, alone, homeless and in despair. But is the despair not there as you reach and grapple to create or manifest your desires through your own effort and will? What happens if or when those things appear in your life? Joy? Peace? Or a temporary sense of relief? What if it is relief from the wanting you have been craving for so long, not the outcome, but the relief from the constant wanting.”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“Now is the only time you have. Change is happening. Give up your desire to control the world”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“Your life has a natural motion. Surrendering reveals how flowing this life could be.”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“Make sure you keep an inner state of flexibility, and are not tightly bound to your visions.”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“How do you surrender when every cell of your being is screaming that your life is not working and that you need to do something to make it work? How do you surrender in that moment when jealousies, envy, doubt, rage, resentment all rise up inside you? You accept that you are resisting letting go; you accept that perhaps you are not yet ready to take your hands off the steering wheel; you accept this with kindness to who you are in the moment, being gentle and tender instead of beating yourself over the head with the 'Must hurry up, time is of the essence, everyone is passing me by' train of thought.”

Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“You'll be ready for this change - when you're ready – not a moment before. Don't beat yourself up if you're not ready.”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“Your outer world mirrors your inner world. How you view your outer world is how you view you, your inner world, the 'you' that needs your care, your attention, your compassion and your love.”
Kelly Martin, When Everyone Shines But You - Saying Goodbye To I'm Not Good Enough“Your self-worth and self-esteem cannot be changed by doing positive affirmations. If that were the case many people would be super confident and are not. It may appear to work for some, but only because they have already faced the hurts inside that have caused low self-worth and low self-esteem, and are ready to feel differently. Acknowledging the pain and the suffering that take place inside you, and allowing the feelings, will take time, but this new way of handling these feelings will change the way you relate to you and to the outside world.”
