It’s Okay Not to Know it All

My husband and I have this conversation often—the one about feeling like a fraud. I’m not talking about in some sort of criminal sense but more like in the sense that we are adults and as adults we should know things. We are experts in our fields of study and again, we should therefore know things. The truth is while we do know things, we certainly don’t know everything, but you know what? Neither does everyone else.

Now, I’m not saying we are all a bunch of dummies. I’m just saying that learning for many if not most of us, is never complete. We will never know everything and this doesn’t make each of us frauds. It makes us humans, constant students of life.

This is important to remember because we live in a world full of pressures and measures and each time we fall short, we tend to get mad. We don’t deserve this and it certainly doesn’t help us move forward. So the next time you want to criticize yourself for not knowing something or not meeting s goal, try to praise yourself for what you do know or what you have achieved. It will help you grow.

Happy writing this week!
