This hit me hard. Especially the line: "It is not your fault, but it remains your problem to fix." We inherit a low estimation of ourselves without choosing it - from parents, culture, religion, school, all of it. And because we didn't choose it, it's tempting to wait for someone else to fix it for us. But revaluing yourself isn't arrogance. It's just refusing to make decisions from that inherited smallness anymore. Refusing to trade truth and honor for what feels "necessary" in the moment. It's slow work. Some days you slip back. But the moment you start acting like your capabilities are real - because they are - everything starts to shift. Thanks for writing this.
