At some point I expect most people feel inadequate. No matter how good a person is at something, the odds are someone else is better. I ask myself where do the feelings of inadequacy originate. I have to be satisfied with who I am. If I know I put in the effort appropriate for the circumstance, I am satisfied.
Most people at times also need to be reminded that they have competed successfully all of their lives. There is no reason to believe that they will not continue to. Life will always be a work in process. Striving to be more perceptive, more caring and more compassionate are worthy goals but do not have to become obsessions.
Ultimately, the question is what is "good enough"? If what you do is never good enough, there is a problem. I appreciate what you contribute here. I would certainly say it is good enough.
