When you doubt yourself all hope is lost. You know your limitations. You understand where your comfort zone begins and ends. You are the only one who knows what you are capable of. Those around you will case doubt on your abilities. They wish for you to fail. They believe that success can only be achieve be others, of which you don’t fit the mold. These are the same people who want to make millions by doing nothing. They want to become fit by taking a magic pill. They want the big house. Essentially they want everything handed to them n a silver plater, never really understanding the sacrifice it takes to commit to your goals. Nothing happens overnight. It takes months to just learn the process, then years to master the skills necessary to get to the level that your skills are habitual.
Something that helps me past the self doubt is knowing the number of people that have completed ________ before me. If they can do it, I can do it. And I’ll be darned if I let them prove to be better than me. And honestly, it truly comes down to you. Do you believe that you can succeed? Are you willing to work beyond your limits? Are you willing to sacrifice the now for the then, understand that the outcome is what you seek? If you answered no, you will not succeed because you are too weak to try. If you answered yes, continue to press on, continue to fight for what you seek. And remember while you are your own biggest doubter, your also are your biggest motivator.
