Incompetence

It's that feeling of one's own incompetence that leads to such enervation.

I don't want to do anything anymore. Perhaps I'm just depressed.

Perhaps I'm hard on myself or perhaps this is truth.

Perhaps this is why I hate it when other people are incompetent.

Today I felt like a failure. Not in the sense that my students didn't learn, but I was left feeling like I could have done better.

There's no solution except to suck it up and be better next time, but failure is an ugly, smelly, unwelcome friend that I have no desire to become intimate with.

Is this really the only way to success?
