The feeling of inadequacy, of not measuring up, is actually premature resignation rooted in irrational fear. It is repackaged cowardice, a persuasive demon that feeds on the worship of selling yourself short, when the awareness of disparity is an invitation to conquer, to display feats of indomitable will, unrelenting discipline, and resolute courage. The actual effort required to push through such discomfort in practice is often minuscule when compared to the disproportionate experiential benefit of not only allowing yourself the opportunity to embody the momentum of that which was always within your appetite and capacity, but also the mastery that comes from pushing through self-limiting perceptions.
