Self undoing or forward moving - which would you choose? If we are our own best friend, most likely we would go with the latter. A good start is to get in touch with what we truly desire, and move forward with a mission, goals and plan of action. Anything opposing this endeavor can give us a clue to what's standing in our way.
Like perhaps self doubting and defeating thoughts and self criticism moving like arrows aiming at the heart of our being. These thoughts may cajole us with comments like, "Those guys are so smart and together, I could never be that good, or achieve what they have." Or perhaps we may hear, " I am not good, smart, cool, pretty, intelligent enough." Believe it or not, these are self negating thoughts many of us share. They pop into our minds and we don't even wonder how they got there. We just believe them more than we believe in ourselves.
So when negative self talk shows up at our door, we don’t have to join these guys or attend their party. If we let them be and move on, our focus can be on being the best we can be, and we can conquer by action. Our part is to do the work. Our effort is our only concern. The results is not our department. So let’s tackle whatever we wish and enjoy the journey as well.
