Excuses are always present and so is doubt. It can be so easy for us to make excuses to try and protect ourselves from rejection or perceived failure. We let our egos come first and convince ourselves that things have to be perfect before we ever start. This inferiority complex acts as a crutch to make sure that if we ever try and fail we can lean on that crutch to hold our egos up. The reality is that we are scared to even start because what happens if we aren’t good at the start or people don’t like what we have to offer the world. The irony lies in the fact that anytime someone starts something they are almost always going to be bad at it.    The things and the people that we aspire to be are just like us except at some point they actually decided to just start. The minute that we understand that we have to first step into the arena and put our internal doubts aside is the first step towards any semblance of success. At the beginning we won’t be any good but by showing up day in and day out we begin to get better slowly becoming less afraid of what others might think. Having the courage to be bad and sometimes even disliked is the only way we can overcome the inferiority complex.    By being vulnerable and opening ourselves up to feedback and criticism and putting our thoughts and ideas out into the world we are taking the first step towards success. Our inferiority complex can feel personal and emotional like we are being attacked, but most of the time it’s all in our heads. You have all the tools available to you to be successful, but most often times we are the ones that are holding ourselves back.
