Everyone will have failures in life. The more success we have, the more times we'll have failed. That's the nature of learning, growth and success. We will all have things that we feel inadequate about. Michael Jordan might be a great basketball player, but his Mandarin might be atrocious.

The reason we feel inadequate is not because we're imperfect, it's because we are comparing our unique selves to other people's unique skills and advantages. In today's podcast, I share how we can go from feeling inadequate to confident, master any skill, and love ourselves exactly as we are.
