Overcome Self-Doubt
Self-doubt is a poison. It eats away at your potential, your dreams, your very soul. It's that voice in your head telling you "you can't," "you're not good enough," "why even try?" But, that voice is a liar. It's a thief, stealing your potential from you. Don't let it. Don't let it ruin your one shot at life. Overcome it.
Every great achievement started with somebody who dared to believe in themselves, even when others didn't. They believed in themselves first. They mustered up the courage to fight self-doubt. You think that everyone you look up to never questioned their abilities? Wrong. In reality, they pushed through it. They told that doubting voice it's wrong, and proved it.
You need to understand something crucial: self-doubt isn't your friend. It's not helping you "be realistic" or "stay grounded". It's a barrier, a wall between you and your dreams. Between you and the life you want. You have to break through that wall now. You built the wall of self-doubt up, brick by brick. If you built it, you can tear it down. Do it.
Start now. When the voice tells you you're not capable. Fight back. Challenge it. Show to yourself you are. Take the thing you always wanted to try and just do it. You will fail a lot. But, get back up and keep going. Each time you chip at the self-doubt, it loses its control over you little by little. It won't have power over you anymore.
Don't let self-doubt rob your potential. Confidence is something that is a muscle. You have to continue to flex it. You only get stronger the more you prove against the self-doubt. Don't let yourself have "what-ifs" years from now. Your future self will thank you. The world is waiting for everything you bring. Start now.
