I don't possess the exceptional qualities of historical figures, but I have my qualities, and for me as for everyone, that is plenty. Afterall, they didn't possess the qualities that I have. I can care and serve with what I am and what I have. I have felt inadequate in some way or another since childhood, and sometimes I've held myself back because of that. When I have held myself back I have regretted it, and when I have contributed what I have in me to contribute I felt good. What helps me to serve is thinking less in terms of my imperfections and more in terms of my gifts and uniqueness, less in terms of what I'm not and what I don't have and more in terms of what I am and what I do have. What helps me is trusting that when I am contributing from being true to myself, I contribute positively and I feel good for contributing.
