Why do you
doubt
your ability?
Some may reply
“It is easier
to doubt
my ability
than to believe
in it.”
For if I
was to believe
in it,
then I would
have to act
on it.
Inaction,
or the perception
of inability
is a powerful mechanism.
It keeps
you
where you are.
It ensures
you remain
within
your comfort zone.
Recognising
ability
and acting on it
is very confronting.
It says
you have potential,
you are extraordinary,
you can do it.
For some people
this philosophy
is second nature.
For other people
it is so foreign,
that it is fanciful.
Whether it be
upbringing,
socio-economic status,
or life’s hard knocks,
people are stuck
with their perception.
Or
are
they?
A perception
is
a thought process.
It is
a creation
of your mind.
Like any creation
it can be changed,
improved,
or eliminated.
The important distinction
is
between
perception
and belief.
If you believe
in a perception,
it is your way.
If you
acknowledge it
as only
a perception,
you are free
to accept or reject it.
Everyone
is
awesome.
Everyone
has
potential.
Everyone
has
ability.
The importance
is
to recognise it.
Look within,
look at
what you do,
you will see
what you can do,
what you want to do,
what you will do.
Stretch beyond
what is,
to
what could be.
Reach
for the stars,
for it is
where we all
belong.
You ability
is
your gift.
You can,
you will,
you are,
already doing it.
Believe it,
feel it,
see it,
be it.
