At some point in life I am pretty sure there have been times when we feel inadequate for some reason or the other. There are times when you may feel you lack what it takes to fit a particular role or carry out a task. Sometimes this feeling is a result of fear and lack of confidence and sometimes it is a genuine feeling, sometimes we are really not fit enough to deliver the best result yet or we are not ready for that role yet. However, this is not the end of the road or something to beat yourself up about.
For instance you are applying for a job you really love and you do not possess enough requirements to meet the demands of the employer or you did not ace the interview, do you give up your pursuit?, Of course not. You definitely learn new things and identify your loopholes then start working on fixing those loopholes and get better so you can ace your next job, and by doing this you are also investing in yourself and preparing yourself for the apex. No investment in yourself is ever a waste, it will someday be useful to you as well as to people around you. The same thing applies for someone trying to get into College or a higher institution as well as someone trying to start a business. You need to realize that there is always someone with better chances out there and strive to beat that person at the game to secure the spot. Sometimes this will require you to take a step back, learn and unlearn a few things, and keep trying again till you get it right, but the most important thing is you are getting better.
So it is okay if sometimes you feel inadequate but do not beat yourself up because of that, keep developing yourself and sharpening your skills. The more value you add to yourself the more your value increases. Do not depend on the current version of yourself for better results, there is always room for improvement. If you remain as you are you will keep getting the same results but if you take a step and level up, there will definitely be a difference. So learn a skill, take a course, sharpen a current skill, do some rebranding and do not be scared to make some changes when necessary and get those extra certifications too. Sometimes it is the littlest of things that make the biggest impact. So whatever you do please do not sit still and watch. Else it is only a matter of time before the world catches up with you and probably also leave you behind.
Make productive use of your time.
Cheers!!!
