Running Scared!!!
Why?


The Scared One


The Scared One. I call the part of me that has those feelings of inadequacy "the Scared One." We all have a Scared One inside of us. It's our best kept secret. So, we walk around acting as though we know what we're doing. We learned it from the grownups. Now we're the people we used to complain about. We are them, the grown-ups.
It's important to talk about this secret because it is connected to how we show support, to how we form relationships. It is connected to performance issues and to learning. It is connected at a core level of the psyche to almost everything humans do.
This part of me, the Scared One, hinders me from fully unfolding my giftedness. Once I've established that I can do something adequately, I keep doing what I know. This part of me then feels safe, because in the eyes of other people I can do what I know adequately. The Scared One's motto is "Safety and security at all costs."

(excerpt from Why Normal Isn't Healthy, Chapter 9)
