When you focus on doubt, you will have more doubts. When you focus on faith, on love, on happiness, you will have more faith, happiness, and love.

Doubt is the beginning of all failures. If you want to succeed in life, you must NEVER doubt yourself. You must always believe in yourself, in your power to get things done. Just because you didn’t do well yesterday does not mean you are not going to do well in the future. You will do really well if you believe in yourself, if you have confidence in yourself, if you have the courage to do things differently, if you have the courage to face your fears, if you have the courage to try something new.

“You cannot succeed while doubting yourself or thinking thoughts of failure.”- Orison Swett Marden

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” No matter how tough,do not quit. Do not give up on yourself. Do not give up on your dreams. Because you are not going to succeed if you quit. The best way forward is to try something different. It is not to quit. When you quit, you are done pursuing your dream. But when you do something new, you still have a chance to make your dreams happen.

Take a chance. Do not let your past failures stop you from taking a chance. Do not let your past failures stop you from doing something new. Because you cannot live your life unless you stop doubting yourself. Do not doubt yourself. If you want to climb the ladder of success, you must believe in yourself. That is the only way.

No One Is Perfect

No one is perfect. We are all learners. We are always learning new things. We are always learning new things about ourselves. Learning is good for you. It is good for your life, for your growth. If we are not growing, we are dying. If we are not growing, we are sleep-walking through life. That is not why you are here. You are here to grow, not to die. And if you are not moving forward in your life, check what you are doing every day.

What you are doing now is preparing your tomorrow. If you don’t do well today, you won’t do well tomorrow. So if you want to have a better tomorrow, you must first do well today. You must take today seriously. You must do everything well today. You must focus on what will get you what you want in your life.

My dreams are not your dreams. To achieve greatness, to achieve success in your life, you must focus on your life.

Doubts are powerful, but do not let them stop you from doing, living, enjoying, and breathing your life. Eric Hoffer said, “Our doubts about ourselves cannot be banished except by working at that which is the one and only thing we know we ought to do.” Don’t worry about making mistakes. You cannot grow without making mistakes. It is good to make mistakes. If you are not making mistakes, you are not making progress in your life.

And if you want to make progress, remember that no one is perfect in life. It does not exist. It is not even possible to be perfect. In the words of Wolfgang Riebe, “No one is perfect- that is why pencils have erasers. ” If everybody is perfect, the world will be a boring place to live in. No one is perfect. Whatever you want to do in your life, don’t let self-doubt stop you from doing it. It is okay to doubt yourself. But do not let self-doubt stop you from jumping off the cliff.

If you want to grow, you must cultivate the courage to jump off the cliff. You must leave your comfort zone. You must try something new. Stop doing the same thing over and over again. Walt Disney said, “All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.” Don’t stop dreaming big. If you have the courage to make your dreams happen, they will come true. Go for it!
