Interesting and thoughtful piece. But while reading it, I kept feeling that one important element was missing: inner motivation. Because it makes a real difference whether this restlessness comes from a genuine inner calling, a creative drive, a sense of purpose โ€” or simply from a constant feeling of inadequacy. From the outside, the two can look very similar, but inwardly they are not the same at all. Maybe that is exactly what determines whether this tension becomes something constructive, or just turns into a permanent sense of falling short. So for me, the question is not only why some people always feel behind, but also: behind what, and driven by what.

Excellent point. Has to be a genuine inner calling otherwise it will only create limitations for one.

It's rather an empowering read! I like the way it rebrands that crushing feeling of not being enough as a secret superpower. Well done!
