Getting Over your Self-Doubt
Mon, 03/28/2011 - 7:20pm | by monicadear
One of the things that separates a successful person from a less-than-successful person is their approach to failure, despair, denial, obstacles, challenges, and issues.
With those kinds of things in the way, many people give up... Perhaps 1 in 10 people will realize that each and every failure is actually a learning lesson in disguise, and that one individual will continue moving forward, making a new way or clearing a new path if there wasn't one already.
A successful person consistently moves forward.
A successful person learns from each and every opportunity - even failures!
A successful person knows that each tremendous failure, or terrible challenge, is a tremendous opportunity, and a fantastic chance to grow in patience, spirit, and ability --- and to gain self-confidence.
How many failures have you had? How many times have you been heartbroken, bereft, bankrupt, or in deep depression? It may be that those have been your learning lessons, and every time you've moved through one of those challenges, you've moved one step closer to your successful outcome.
Julie Andrews, the singer and actress, has said that "Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th." I would even extrapolate that success comes from failing 199 times and succeeding the 200th.
The more failures you get through, the closer you get to your ultimate success.
Take it one day at a time, meditate, change your behavior, and find the support and resources necessary for you to break whatever chains are binding you, and whatever little voice is belittling you. You deserve the best, and you deserve to do whatever it is that your heart leads you towards.
