Enough

I live in a world where I feel the need to prove myself. I constantly need to prove that I am enough in any of an unlimited number of categories of "enough", such as smart enough, strong enough, cool enough, righteous enough, or wealthy enough. But to whom am I actually proving myself? It seems like I am trying to prove my worth to other people, and as a result, I am constantly waiting for evidence that I have been successful at proving my worth. I am constantly on edge with the fear that I may never be enough. Can I ever give enough evidence to other people to change their minds if they don't want to change their minds? If other people don't actually want to change their minds they will always find a way to keep me from being in the "enough" bucket (For example, thinking to themselves "Yeah, but you're still a jerk!")
