Ever get the feeling that you don't deserve what you've got? That there is someone out there who has put in more effort than you have and probably deserves it more than you? The feeling of apology, and followed by that, a feeling of fear. That you will not live up to people's expectations of you. Because you know, deep down, that someone could have done it better.
You start to panic, start to doubt yourself. You start to give up, before even starting.
Then, you take a step back. You take a breath, and thank whoever it is that provided the opportunity to you. And then, you do it. To the best of your ability.
And you don't regret it. However the outcome turns out. You know, you've done your best. A sudden moment of clarity comes. And you realize, you were chosen for that job. It wasn't a random lottery draw. Yes there might be people better, but you were chosen instead.
And, you sneak a smile. Because you realized that you should never have doubted yourself in the first place.
