Feeling like you can’t is the first step towards being the person who can.
When you have that sinking feeling in your gut that you’ll never get there is when you are at your highest power of actually getting there.
People who aren’t aware of their own deficits never seek to address them. They are incapable of change because they can’t even conceive of a need for change. When they’re confronted with something that hints at this need, their lack of self-awareness protects them by stating that there’s no need for change because there isn’t a problem. When virtually no one got the measles, it enabled certain people to believe that vaccination wasn’t actually protective enough to warrant the risks.
However, the world is in constant progress. And it’s the slow, creeping progress that sneaks up eventually on the unaware. Your cybersecurity wasn’t a problem you thought about until news broke about leaked personal information. The world moved forward and you didn’t even know it.
You can’t make a plan to solve a problem you can’t see. But when you see and feel the problem as something big and intimidating, you can make a plan. You might not solve it right away, but you’re miles ahead of the person who can’t even see.
So if you’re feeling like evidence-based practice is a lofty, unachievable goal, congratulations!
