You need to give yourself permission to be human. - Joyce Brothers

What’s wrong with you?

Maybe the preceding question is not the best way to start a conversation, so I’ll try something a little different.

What’s wrong with me?

Over the course of my life, there’s been so much wrong with me.

Here’s a list of a few questions and thoughts that come to mind.

I get scared.

I’m concerned about what other people think of me.

I feel stuck.

Will they still love me?

I don’t know if I’ll ever live up to my own expectations.

I’m uncertain of my relationships.

I ask myself if I’ll ever ‘make it.’

I worry about being alone.

I feel like an imposter.

Will my business succeed?

Am I a good boss?

Am I a good employee?

Am I a good parent?

Am I a good child?

Can I handle what’s next?

What if I fail?

I have so much anxiety.

I don’t know what to do next.

If any of the previous statements or questions resonate with you then you know that you’re not alone. In fact, I’m pretty sure that most people have themselves asked similar questions and have had similar thoughts.

You see, what’s wrong with you is what’s wrong with almost everyone. It’s the human condition. So, I’m here to tell you that what’s wrong with you is also what’s right with you.

The next time you find yourself asking or thinking what’s wrong with me, give yourself some grace and try to remember that while the situation might be unique to you, almost everyone has asked themselves the same question too.
