Why do we listen to others? Why do we doubt ourselves? Why don't we trust that voice inside, that drive inside, that feeling inside that tells us what to do? Why do we fear what it is we think is the right path? Why do we stand in our own way?
There is so much uncertainty and doubt and fear around us right now. There is so much we don't know and can't know and want to know. The future is something we can't see but also can't even begin to plan for. And for those of us who feel comfort in the planning, who take solace in the path ahead, the not knowing and not even being able to guess is terrifying.
And because thinking of our future makes us afraid, we ask others for their opinions because we think they know. But the truth is, they don't know any more than we do. The truth is they can't see any more than we can. The truth is that listening to someone else tell us what they think about our lives is them just making something up, but it's no more the truth than thin air.
So believe and do and go as you think. Don't listen to what others say or believe. Because you know more than you give yourself credit for. Your instincts are good. Your values are true. Your belief in yourself is all that you need.
Lesson learned.
