Slay the Slayer Within

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” – Suzy Kassem

The greatest enemy to progress and success is self doubt. Due to the illusory dread of self-doubt, fear of failure and the associated ridicule, most of us tend to take on way less responsibility, duty and challenge than we can handle.

But why is it so hard to Believe and yet so easy to Doubt? In my opinion, if you hear a voice within telling you that the task cannot be accomplished, then by all means just go ahead and work on that task. That’s the only way your inner voice of fear and doubt can be silenced.

If your inner strength is wavering, your best option is to stay on path and look back at the progress you have already made in life. As you pause and reflect on the quantum of achievement and success garnered, you will instinctively realize what a waste it is to simply give up, and your self-confidence and allegiance to the arduous path ahead are bound to surge. 

Never let others tell you what you can or can’t do. Censure is just someone else’s opinion. Even the greatest experts go wrong in their field and the best of professionals commit blunders. But that’s life. It is up to you to choose whether to believe external criticism and foolish enough to be bound by your fear of failure, or absorb the valuable inputs and move ahead with a more refined plan of action. It’s what you think that counts. Don't allow the limitations of others to limit your vision. If you can remove your self-doubt and believe in yourself, you can move mountains and attain the impossible.

Believe in your boundless potential. Your only boundaries are those you set around yourself. Believe in your talent, creativity, abilities and your limitless capability. Never let self-doubt hold you imprisoned. Slay the slayer within. Because you are worthy to receive all that you dream of and aspire for. 

Seek strength, not to be greater than others, but to slay your greatest enemy – the fear, misgivings, scepticism and doubts within you.
