.COMPETENCE.

Competence. This is a huge thing I've been learning lately. I'm about to throw down some Webster's Dictionary, where it defines competence as the belief that you have the ability to do something successfully or efficiently. However, a lot of us suffer in different degrees of incompetence. Incompetence can be defined as having a sense of being less than others, a belief that one is inherently not as valuable or capable as others of similar education and ability. 

A lot of times we feel powerless, we feel like we can't do great things but the truth is we can. You can. You really really can. You might fail, you might trip up, and honestly, at times you are going to feel like you absolutely suck. Somedays you'll scream until your voice won't let you anymore, and you still do. And honestly, that's perfectly okay, because that's just how life is. Truth is, we are capable of far more than we realize. We too easily believe that we can't do things. We believe far too much that life should be easy and that if things are simply too hard we just should give up or become so discouraged we lose faith in ourselves. You can be frustrated and you can kick and scream, but you also can believe in yourself and know that you are valuable and you may be surprised but you are fully capable.

  1. I love this. It's so true. As much determination and power it takes to convince ourselves that we are incompetent is as much as it takes for us to really believe that in reality, we are fully capable.
    This is such a sweet reminder. Thank you for posting this.
