"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." ~William Shakespeare
Do your doubts stop you from doing things? Why? What hold over you do those doubts have? Are you setting your goals lower than you should because of your doubts?
We all fear some things but our doubts shouldn't be one of those things. Heights, snakes, going too fast, these are some things to fear but not our doubts. Why you ask? Because our doubts are just stories that we tell ourselves, not that there is any truth to them, but stories that we believe.
What stories are you telling yourself that are holding you back?
Don't ever not do something because of a fear of failure. Why? Because you will fail your way to success. It's the only way anyone succeeds. They fail their way to success. Think about it. That "overnight sensation" band that has played every scum bag bar in town for 10 years finally makes it big. When Thomas Watson the founder of IBM was asked how to be successful quicker, he said "Fail faster!"
Historically, predators from the T-Rex to today have only been successful in 1 out of 10 hunts. Yet they keep trying, why? Because survival dictates that they do. The same goes for me and you. Survival dictates that we keep trying.
Don't let your doubts keep you from the good you might do. Don't believe the stories that you have been telling yourself that hold you back. Make yourself everything you want it to be!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
