Beware the Power of DoubtsteemCreated with Sketch.

A fair many of us may have experienced moments in our lives where events have stripped us of a part of our confidence. Whether such be a failure or a reality check, it is quite amazing how life always has one more curveball to throw at the self, when its not tackling us from behind, that is.

Well it is during these moments that we get to pause and reassess things in our lives - and that can include a reassessment of our own relationship with life itself.

This fosters doubts within us and this doubt can colour our word and our actions.

It can be a paralyzing force - just as perfectionism.

While it is important to dispel the doubt that weighs upon our hearts, it is not ever as simple as just "snapping out of it".

I am also no stranger to doubt, myself.

It has hounded me with every step that I have taken.

The silent voices gnaw away at my resolve.


Why bother yourself with things that you know not enough about?

Why persist in this path when you see the wall approaching?

Is it not easier to just let go, lay back and relax?

Do you really think that you can do this?

Aren't you fooling yourself & others?

Doubt kills dreams... if we let them.

And while it certainly doesn't 'all' depend on us - a part of it does.

And as such, when faced by our doubts as they creep into our thoughts...

...we could do worse than to shake them off.

What we are working on will be more amazing if we continue working upon it, than if we were to allow doubt to hold us hostage to our own insecurities.

We can do better - and if we weather our doubts - then we will achieve more.

Man it's been awhile since I can remember experiencing anything remotely like self doubt. In fact, since we're sharing, I just drew this picture to illustrate how I pretty much feel all the time.
