Life is not about race. It is about purpose. If you do not know what you are doing,
if you do not know where you are going, if you are not chasing your own race,
if you are not developing yourself, if you are not loving yourself,
if you are not embracing yourself, if you are not comfortable with yourself, with who you are, speed does not matter.
If you know what you are doing, if you know where you are going, according to Dan Millman, ‘… take the long, sure way.’
You are free to doubt yourself. But do not give in to it. When you feel it, express it. When it shows up, acknowledge it.
Do not try to supress it. When you do, you are not helping yourself. You are just extending your pain.
Self-doubt is not going to go away by trying to pretend it is not there. It is there.
When it shows up, ask yourself, ‘When I experience self-doubt, how do I respond?’
Do you cry? Hide? Run away? Shy away?
The best way to handle self-doubt is to see self-doubt as something that we must face, something that we must overcome, if we are to move forward.
When you feel it, do not ignore it. Self-doubt is normal. It is not here to stop you from achieving your dreams.
Use it to strengthen your dreams. Use it to strengthen your life. Do not give in to it.
Do not accept it. Why is that? Because you are good enough. You are powerful enough to handle your own life.
Your self-doubt is trying to tell you that ‘you are not good enough.’ That is not true. You are good enough. You can do whatever it is that you want to do. Take on what you can do.
Focus on what is important to you. When you do that, self-doubt cannot stop you from moving forward.
The question is, ‘When self-doubt shows up, what are you going to do?’
