I Wish...

“I wish you knew me before I was like this.”

Gil Scott-Heron, quoted in the New Yorker, August 9, 2010.

I wish I did not make mistakes that caused harm.

I wish people only saw me at my best.

I wish my best was good enough.

How about you?

Is it hard for you to feel: wrong, inadequate, not enough? Do you think feelings of “less than” make it more difficult for us to accept our limitations? Does that make it harder or easier to admit wrongdoing?
