How do you feel when you can’t answer a question?

Many people hold themselves to impossible standards and then beat themselves up when they fall short in any way.

• Don’t know the answer to a question? Beats self up.
• Can’t figure out how to do something. Beats self up.
• Single-handedly takes on a project that’s really a task for three people, and then can’t complete it on time. Beats self up.

Did I mention that the standards they’re holding themselves to are impossible?

It’s not possible for one person to take on the world every day with no help and succeed valiantly. It is possible to set a great example to others as you retrain your own expectations. Next time you don’t know the answer to a question, try this: “I’m not sure of that answer – let’s look it up together and then we’ll both know!”
