Don’t Quit.

The number one reason many of us quit so easily is self-doubt. I am a professional at this stage of my life. I am a self-doubter and a quitter!

Not this time. Definitely not this time.

Why?

Because I am aware. I am now aware of my weakness and it took me years to compile this, deep inside and just say the words myself. I can scream it from a roof top, write a poem about it or simply just admit it to myself. Today was the day I will finally not quit.

It almost happened. No joke, I kid you not.

I almost deleted all my socials and called it quits. That would mean my short lived writing career would have ended. Yet, I am really just beginning. I have been writing my whole life, not published. I just started consistently publishing my writing. Writing was always my thing and it always will be. I have dreams and aspirations. As soon as the going gets tough, normally I get going. Good bye, see yah! It’s not because I am lazy. It’ has nothing to do with work ethic. It has everything to do with how I feel and view myself.

And, normally it’s on to the next! Not this time, not this time!

Self-doubt is a silent killer of our dreams and aspirations. It is the one thing that we can’t admit to ourselves. It’s the struggle of good vs. evil, within ourselves. It’s always about us. When we are called to such things in life it now our responsibility to understand why. Many times, more often than not it is a childhood trauma response that we just keep cycling, around and around. It’s draining.

“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself. Believe in yourself, your abilities, and your own potential. Never let self doubt hold you captive. “ ~ Roy T. Bennett

I just love this quote. It is so darn true. Too true. As I said above it is our number one silent killer when we are trying to accomplish something. That’s if we hold doubt within. Many do not and you are my hero! I bow down to you in all the depths of the universe. To have come into this life so sure of everything you are doing. It’s a beautiful thing!

It has taken me years to accomplish this one major goal. It’s not a monetary goal, nor a career goal or anything like that. It’s a life goal. One that will surely push me forward. A goal that I had to fail so many times to achieve. A goal that has taken me years to accomplish. If you are reading this and you are like me, keep going. I promise you it is worth it and it will be the most accomplished goal of your life. Why? Because you will never have to start over again.
