R.I.P. to the opportunities we missed because of shyness and low self-esteem.
The beauty is we have all moved on and progressed in our lives.
The doubt that holds you back, that caused you to miss those opportunities can be can be squashed.
That little germ of fear that's been holding you back has been cultivated either from you or your external environment.... usually both. You must know you can direct your mind in another direction literally at any time.
The quality that will help you direct your mind in a more positive direction the fastest, is faith.
Remember faith isn't the absence of doubt, but it's having trust in your abilities and resources to get the job done.
That belief that everything will either work out or teach you a lesson that will help you in the future. Even in the presence of doubt.
Pair faith with action and you have the recipe for success. Maybe not immediate success, but with more faith and action, comes confidence.
In neuroscience they call it the competence-confidence loop. The more action you take the more competence you develop. The more competent you become, the more confident you become.
So have faith. Have patience and practice perseverance. Take advantage of the opportunities in front of you, with confidence.
Your day will come. Enjoy the weekend fam!!
