I’m a lucky gal to know a fair share of talented people and something I’ve learnt consistently through the years is that no matter how accomplished we are and how much we’ve achieved, it’s almost impossible to get rid of our feelings of self-doubt.
Some of that has to do with the fact that building self-confidence in different areas of our lives is a lifelong process because we are continuously comparing ourselves to others. Thing is, we're often playing the comparison game - comparing ourselves to what others have done and have accomplished. In doing this, we are not fully appreciating ourselves, and acknowledging all we have to offer. We often hold ourselves back because we keep comparing ourselves to others and we are too humble to admit that what we are seeing in the people we admire is inside us as well.
When we spend time on doubt, fear, or low-priority actions, this slows down our accomplishment process. When we take our minds off our focus, intention or goal, all we see are obstacles. When our mind is focused on our dreams, we don’t have time for the many self-doubts that block them.
Have you noticed that when you’re busy, you often accomplish and create much more? The more intensely you’re focused and in action, and the longer you maintain that focus, the faster you reach your accomplishments (time x intensity = results).
Thank you as always for reading.
With love,
