Self Doubt

There are times when self doubt can be a motivator or can totally strip your ability to make rational choices to improve yourself. When self doubt rears its head and starts making the decisions in your life one has to recognize this and not allow this self doubt to dictate your actions.

We all make choices on what we want to focus on and what we want to accomplish:  be it playing video games, partying every night or becoming an Olympic athlete.  Whatever it is we chose to focus our life on, we will have times of self doubt. We must remember that what we chose to do is a journey and not a destination.  A journey can have many failures along the way but they have to be looked as part of the process to get to your ultimate goal. Therefore, we need to look at the journey in smaller time increments:  instead of looking at what you want in terms of years, look at it in terms of days.  If what I do tomorrow is better than what I did today then I am getting to my destination and I am succeeding.

Understand that self doubt will be part of the journey and recognize it as such.  Then stomp on it and don't let it stop you from doing what you want.

The reason for the quote is that person who says it cannot be done is the same person who is doing it.
