A thought hit me like lightning recently. I lack confidence. My brain raced through the scenarios where this is true. I lack confidence in: Leading effectively. Playing soccer (where this idea really hit home). Being a good husband. Creating lasting and meaningful relationships. And so much more. Your Lack Of Confidence Is Disturbing.
