Feeling inadequate. Lacking the quality or quantity required. Insufficient for a purpose. I’ve always tried to play by the rules. Which makes me feel inadequate. Mainly because it always feels like the bad boys not only get the best positions but the most attention. For decades I’ve always seen myself as being an introvert. Shy and always wanting to be left alone. I believe the feeling of being inadequate might have been that backstage pass. Breaking the mold has put me face to face with multiple people on a mission. Grocery store customers. Being on that cash register proves that I’m not an introvert but rather energized to not only want to learn their stories but to help lift them beyond their present mental state. As I grow into these new challenges and changes the spirit of development puts no fuel inside the tank of inadequacy. I must remain aware and not in between the cracks. Inadequate isn’t only being lived out by me. During these Covid rebuilding days and moments we’re all having to change careers or take on new business positions. It’s completely natural to feel inadequate. Being aware of its energy against you is a valuable step in the right direction. I turned down many jobs because I felt in the closing moments that it wasn’t my place to be. Then one day I had to put on the big boy pants of survival and take on a job that has nothing to do with me. And yet there’s a connection and or resurrection of my creative self. Feeling inadequate is keeping a lot of great people from what could be a brilliant new step in life. You’re not the only one going through these daily changes. The entire world is. Let’s grow together. Let’s learn together. Let’s motivate each other by way of being present with each other. If you feel inadequate then learn more about the expectation before telling yourself to walk away. Stay strong by believing in your personal growth and potential.
