When we striggle

it’s not necessary a sign that we lack competence

it’s sometimes because we care so much

that we expect more than what we can offer

“I thought
that all my problems would be solved
…
once I raised enough
money.” he said.

…

“I thought
that all my problems would be solved
…
once I hired enough
experts.” he continued.

…

“I thought
that all my problems would be solved
…
once I achieved enough
annual revenue.” he let out a sigh.

“I have no more excuses.
All this time,
I have been lying to myself.”
he remarked.

“It’s OK.
We all lie to ourselves
from time
to time.

There is a world of difference
between having a need for validation
and judging
that we are not worthy
of validation

Scarcity
Is not

It is scarcity

Sometimes
asking ourselves
am I doing enough
may mean
that we dont have enough trust
in the people around us
to do their share.

Some results need to be achived
and if we are not the one who can achieve those results
but they can only be achieved through others
or we’d rather have others achieve those results

So the question isn’t am I doing enough
the question is
who can I entrust to do something
that I am not doing
or I am not good at doing
or I do not want to do.

Compassion without realization of empathy
can easily lead
to manipulation.
