ENOUGH!

  

Could we take this moment to talk about a familiar tussle? Where one moment you feel invincible and exceedingly timid in the next.

Very gifted and talented in one area yet struggling and unsure in another.

Optimistic and certain on one hand while gloming on to people for that nod of approval on the other.

A Jacob and Israel moment.

 

In a culture that perceives seeking help and voicing fears as a sign of weakness, it's easy to just curl away in silence and feel inadequate;

To drown in the pressure to perform while the imposter syndrome eats you away from the inside.

You feel prickly and debased even when the feedback is honest.

 

Does it ever go away? Is there a remedy?

I might not have absolute responses to that and I wouldn't want to add the frustration that comes with trying to situate answers that cannot be found.

What I know is that it's always a growing curve. Give yourself grace to be present. Sit through the ensuing feelings and choose to; embrace your own vulnerabilities, affirm that you are capable, be willing to learn and practice gratitude.

You may be reluctant to believe at first, but God made you enough. If not, He would have created you otherwise.
