We are almost always our own toughest critic. Self-criticism and self-doubt haunt us all from time to time. Why is it that we tend to focus more on our "perceived" inadequacies as opposed to our talents, gifts, and accomplishments? For some reason, we all seem to really take ourselves for granted! Every single one of us has overcome adversity, challenges, and setbacks.....over and over and over. We handle everything that comes our way, yet each new thing thrown at us can feel like an overwhelm or even impending doom!
If you are lucky enough to have a good support system, then you know how valuable an outside perspective on things can be. It's easy to get consumed by our lives and end up in "survival mode," which leaves little time for reflection and proper insight/perspective.
In your heart you know your unlimited potential...your GREATNESS! The mind can "cloud the skies," but your inner spirit is always shining (like the sun), with infinite power and strength. More than anything, we just need to get out of our own way!
