Memory Lane #2
November 29, 2005
Our move went well over the weekend, the house is full of boxes, the plumber is connecting the kitchen sink as I type and it is wonderful to be in our new home. I have successfully managed to connect the internet today which allows me to treat you to another trip down Memory Lane .... I am off to unpack another box - have an inspiring week! ********************************************************* Trip Down Memory Lane #2 (26th July 2004) SELF DOUBT .... 'am I good enough?', 'will I ever make it?', 'what if I make a mistake?' We have all experienced it at some point in varying degrees. Having these thoughts is not bad or wrong, having these thoughts does not make you weak or destined for failure .... trust me - EVERYONE experiences self doubt. So why do some people seem to endlessly undermine themselves with doubt? Why do they seem to sabotage their potential before they even begin? Consider that it may be choice in perspective ...... Another coach sent me part of an article she had cut out in hope that it would inspire me ... it did! So now I share this with you - next time you hear those voices of self doubt remember you have a choice in how you respond to them. The author wrote - I asked (Will) Smith if he finally had overcome his self-doubt and fear of failure. " I've learned to use it", he replied, "to flip that negative energy around and make it a challenge. I keep going because I doubt myself. It drives me to be better. I've learned that the mastery of self-doubt is the key to success. It makes me excel". Have an inspiring week!
