Once a friend sent me some thoughts about something called the “fear of not measuring up”. In a competitive and driven society such as ours, we all suffer from this fear to some degree. There are a million ways for it to manifest itself. It’s the fear that you aren’t smart enough or aren’t pretty enough or aren’t successful enough. It’s the fear of not being able to “keep up with the Joneses”, that you don’t drive the right kind of car or don’t live in the right neighborhood, that you didn’t go to the right school or you’re not a supermom and on and on and on. It’s the fear of being inadequate. Let’s be honest. Some people are smarter, more successful, and better looking than the rest of us. That’s called “Life’s Not Fair”. However, the rest of us are not doomed. I think we all have unlimited potential if we have the drive and initiative to take advantage of the opportunities given us. On the other hand I am someone who believes in the idea of contentment. I always want to be the best possible version of myself but, quite frankly, sometimes I am too tired to be. I have more stuff than many people but much less than many others. I can honestly say that I am very content with my standard of living. I have everything I need to live comfortably and to be happy. At this point in my life I think more about how I can do with less than with always wanting more. I’m not a genius but I am far from stupid. I am happy with who I am and I don’t feel inferior to anyone. I am not perfect but I know I am a good person. I don’t have to beat everyone else in order to feel like I am successful. It really all boils down to these few questions. Are you happy? Is there love in your life? Are there people and things you care about and other people who care about you? Are your basic needs being met? If yes, what more do you want?
