A lovely friend of mine sent me a link to a video I think is worth sharing with you.
The subject is that of making a difference in other’s lives and how doing something small can have such an astounding impact on so many. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Hopefully it will get you thinking about how you can make a difference in other’s lives too.
I never cared much for this song when it was first released but it makes so much sense now that I just have to share it. Fantastic stuff!! Hope you get it and if you don’t maybe you will when the time is right.
Live the life you love and love the life you live!
I recently read an interview about best selling author, Wilbur Smith. He is now 76 years old and has worldwide sales of around 100 million US. It has been 50 years since he started writing historical adventure novels about Africa. He has published 32 books in 26 languages and has rarely been out of the bestseller lists. I’m sure you would agree with me that he is successful. This is what he had to say on the subject of self doubt:
“It doesn’t get any easier or harder to write as you get older” he says “I now know what to expect and how to handle the self doubt that comes after starting to write.”
What can we learn from this?
That success does not depend on getting rid of self doubt. It will always be there, even when we are extremely successful. It’s how we are wired as human beings. What makes the difference is recognizing self doubt when it appears and knowing how to manage it so we can focus on the belief that no matter how we feel we can still be successful.
And what should we do when self doubt shows up? Simply acknowledge that it’s there but don’t attach anything to it. It is simply self doubt not the end of the world.
The fact is,self doubt will always be there so if you are waiting for it to not be there before you are successful then you may as well accept now that you never will be. Is that really what you want for yourself?
Live the life you love and love the life you live!
If look carefully enough will see that the above two gardens show the same space. In which one do you think you would stand a better chance of growing something? Pretty obvious huh?
Often our lives and businesses are not growing because they are choking on weeds and rubble, just like the top garden. Are you finding it difficult to make progress no matter what you do? Maybe the solution is as simple as doing a bit of weeding.
Read my article, “Ever gardened with a blindfold on?” to get some ideas about how to clear your “weed patch” so you can grow and prosper in any area of your life.
