Trust yourself to accomplish good things.
Imagine yourself in your work, tackling a challenging project. Now imagine your boss or your customers second guessing your efforts all along the way.
How might that affect your performance? Would you be able to put in your best effort when doubt about your capabilities was repeated over and over again?
With laser beam focus, you might be able to avert some of the impact. But it’s likely that the lack of belief would affect the outcome.
Yet, this is what we frequently do to ourselves. We start toward a goal and then our fears overtake us. We worry about whether we’re up to the task, if we’ll have enough time/resources/creativity, or whether we’ll be able to deliver on target, whether it’s our self-imposed deadline or someone else’s.
Because we can’t escape our own self-beliefs, we probably doubt ourselves more than anyone else does. We’re possibly our own biggest obstacle to success.
Now imagine if you believed in yourself completely. See yourself reaching milestones and celebrating your accomplishments. Picture the satisfaction you’ll feel at the end for a successful effort. Visualize telling yourself “I knew I could do it!” Doesn’t this support a very different energy?
Today’s message suggests that the only one standing in the way of this second scenario is me. When I trust in my capabilities and efforts, I unlock my own very special mojo to get things done.
Please reflect and share. Do you trust in yourself?
