Hi lovely hivers,
This is my entry for week 73 edition 1 prompt which I titled fidgeting in the public, I would share my practical experience and ways which I overcame it.
Inferiority complex is the matter of the heart. The battlefield of every individual is the heart. The conclusion and judgement of every battle whether win or lose emanates from the state of the heart. Permit me to say that the engine room and control switch of every human being is the heart. Once the heart is transformed definitely it will permeate through other areas.
Inferiority complex comes when an individual thinks less of himself or herself and don't believe in his or her capacity to do any task. Having regards for others and applaud others. Inferiority complex entails writing one's self off and feeling intimidated by other people's achievement. When such occurs, you will hide your true identity and potential because of fear.
Every individual has strength and weaknesses however when one works on the weakness what normally play out is the strength which everyone tends to reckoned with quickly.
When I was growing up, I had this inferiority complex that kept me bound for couple of years not until I broke out of it. Anytime I'm asked to stand before people to perform a task is always a serious problem for me. I noticed that sometimes because of fear, I'll even fall sick unconsciously which would show literally.
I came to a conclusion that no body should ask me to perform a task at the public any longer because I felt I can't do it and besides there are people better than me. I didn't believe in my self at all in fact the worst of it I cherish other people's performance than myself. I noticed once I'm privileged to stand in the public, I start fidgeting, Sweeting unnecessarily and my voice note instantly metamorphosized.
One day, my dad gave me the platform to preach to an audience of about 500 persons. Hmmm this was the highest platform I had to address then. Three days to the event, my head was pounding and my whole body system hot. I almost declined but a quiet voice within me says go ahead, you can do it. You're even better than others therefore cheer up.
I knew within me the greatest challenge would be how to start. Immediately it was time, I stood up straight to the podium. I took a deep breath in then released it out in order to gain balance.
I couldn't look at people's eye ball instead my eyes were fixed on the ceiling and the last wood before me.
In less than time minutes I finished the sermon and from the stage and the people rejoice because I didn't spend much time. Hmmm they never knew the kind of invisible battles that I fought through.
Inferiority complex can reduce a man and render a man's gifts impotent. That marked my first day of standing in the public.
Till now there are other aspect of my life that I'm still battling with but I am gaining more balance than before presently.
