Inadequacy breeds insecurity.

It's a vicious cycle, isn't it?

Just about every single one of us has some kind of insecurity that creeps up and tries to hold us back from accomplishing our goals. But the truth is, if you don't feel adequate because you're insecure, you can't have confidence to go forward toward something that might be a little scary.

It stops you cold and you end up walking away from opportunities. Has this happened to you?
