May 26, 2024: Kick Doubt Out
"Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will."
⁃ Suzy Kassem
It is so interesting that we will encourage a friend who tells us they're trying to do something. We will tell them that "I know you can do it!" But often the conversation changes drastically when we have something that we are trying to do. In place of the encouraging words we say to someone else, we express doubt about whether or not we can do it. Why we do that to ourselves, is not as important as, recognizing that we do it and then doing something about it. Those times when we are doubting our ability to do something, it might help if we would pretend that it was someone else, a friend of ours, who said they wanted to do something like that. We might ask ourselves, "what would I say to my friend if she told me she was going to try to do what I was hoping to do?" Then tell yourself, with all the energy and love you would use to encourage your friend, "I know you can do it!" Then you will be treating yourself with the same love and encouragement with which you treat your friends. That's the way to get it done! Overcoming self doubt is a major step toward becoming the awesome person you were created to be!
KICK DOUBT OUT!
