What do you do when self-doubt creeps in?
Have you ever done something great or were working
towards a dream and you feel like things are going well but you start to second-guess
yourself. Maybe you hit a roadblock you mind starts to race with all the worst-case
scenarios.
“I
have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when
I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees
hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't
deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.” Kobe Bryant
There will always be highs and lows no
matter how successful you become, no matter what stage of the journey you are
on. Your ego is going to jump in at some stage and question every decision you
make and second-guess all that hard work and effort you put into your dreams.
“Who
are we but the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, and believe?” Scott Turow
Self-doubt or self-talk is just that –
Talk. These thoughts are just words and cannot hold you back. How you choose to
react or deal with these thoughts will however have a profound affect on your
ability to move forward and succeed.
“No
one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk
the path” Buddha
We need to continually develop ourselves
and change our mindset to become the person we need to be. Unless you change
your thinking you will not change your situation. The next time these thoughts
creep in acknowledge them and then say to yourself from the words of the great
Les Brown “Its not over until I win”
“In
the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never
ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own
responsibility.” Eleanor Roosevelt
Jim Rohn says “You income will seldom
exceed your personal development”
Rise Up. Out of the everyday and into life.
