Never Doubt Yourself

If I would leave any thought with someone I would say, ‘Never Doubt Yourself’. No matter what people say, no matter what you may think sometimes, never doubt yourself. If you believe in yourself you will succeed far more than you will fail. One who has faith in one’s ability to perform a task already has the task half completed.

Believe in yourself despite setbacks, despite the seemingly immovable obstacles, despite the cold and dark, despite the woes and pains. Eventually your faith will come to fruition and you will find all those troubles behind you.

The simplest thing in the world to do is to deride ourselves when we made a mistake, to give up and say, ‘I'm no good’ or ‘I’ll never be able to do it’. The more difficult thing is to believe in ourselves and to constructively continue with our life. The greatest error in life is to downgrade ourselves. The most horrible tragedies in life have occurred from a lack of faith in one's own self, one's own ability, from a belief that one cannot succeed and that failure is one’s fate.

There seems to be a self uncertainty that builds up in the mind every time one makes a mistake or fails to accomplish a task, and with every successive blunder the uncertainty grows stronger until one doubts one's ability to do anything right. Being human we are not immune to making mistakes, every one of which will disturb and depress us and make us doubt our worth. We are not a mechanically precise machine, we are a bundle of nerves which often tangle and get jangled but are still capable of amazing performance.

We have more strength than we believe, there is more fight within us than we know and far more potential than we could ever call forth or even dream of being possible. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. Don’t limit yourself. You can go as far as your mind lets you. Remember, what you believe, you can achieve. It’s only through this belief that we can lift our spirits and go on to accomplish what we are capable of doing. Let’s face it, how do you expect others to believe in your ability to achieve if you are doubtful of your own ability? Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Never doubt yourself.
