The paradox of “INADEQUACY”….
If an infant felt that her abilities were adequate, she would never crawl, never learn to talk! If a toddler felt adequate, she would not have the motivation to get strong in her feet… To run… To grow!
We are constantly looking to grow past our inadequacies! When someone tells you that she is looking for a challenging position, she is signing up to something that will make her feel inadequate.
Feeling inadequate is good…. For when you don’t feel inadequate, you stagnate… You vegetate!!!
Fear is an inadequacy derivative…. And it is that same feeling that ultimately helps repel fear!
Inadequacy forces you to expand your current bounds…. Just like that infant or that toddler! It’s inadequacy that prompts you to get that degree…. Inadequacy that makes you buy that next car or home…. Inadequacy that catalyses making more money…. Inadequacy that drives you to excel in what ever you do!!!
We don’t like feeling inadequate yet we are constantly in the quest for inadequacy!!!
