if I just had

If I were taller, stronger, richer, smarter, more attractive, more charismatic, more sensitive, more brave.

"...if I just had"

I'm all for drive, commitment, focus, and determination. But when our motivation and discontent comes from our feelings of inadequacy - we are all "had". We are not an accident. We are not a mistake. We are not a cosmic joke. It is in our perceived weakness that we can grow and be more effective and influential in ways that we could never imagine.

If I were taller - I'd be taller. If I were stronger - I'd be stronger.

...but if I use what I am today - I'd be effective.
