My mother is no longer living, but I always remember how she repeatedly told us "use what you have and you will have plenty." She had heard a sermon as a young woman with this theme and it became her motto in life. The minister went through the Bible citing every instance where the use of what was available was sufficient. I have always found this to be true in my life also.

Always wear clean underwear
Shut up, or I'll knock you into the middle of next week!

That I am not good enough.
Not in those words, but that is her attitude. I know she is only that way because she doesn't feel good enough herself.
It's sad, I know, but it's the truth.
