I love ‘using self - doubt as a motivator’. It’s a fuel, that when topped up with its equally powerful, albeit potentially debilitating cousins ‘fear’ and ‘anxiety’, that I’ve used to turbocharge me! When we learn to embrace and harness every part of our very human range of emotions, then maybe that even becomes a superpower. Congratulations on your progress and success Patrick O - that doesn’t happen by accident, I acknowledge the ‘blood, sweat and tears’ that goes into it. Keep thriving. Here’s to your continued success. Huge thanks for sharing.
What a powerful acknowledgement, @Lee!! It makes my heart sing when other's are cheering on and acknowledging authentically the hard work that we all put in being us!
I shared that this is what happens when you make a real connection with someone. You learn about yourself. Several months ago, I was new here. Poking around, making mistakes, figuring things out.
Suddenly I met Magdalena, this lovely human who made me, a complete stranger, feel totally at home here. We made a connection. That’s when she hit me with something unexpected. And I almost said no. Scared I’ll say too much (happens a lot). Or that I don’t have a story worth telling.
In doing this spotlight with Magdalena, I learned a lot about myself, my backstory and how vulnerable it feels to speak so freely about it.
Thank you so much for sharing this, @Parick. That's an aspect of the "spotlight" that I've never considered - that by shining the light on others - they get to see themselves in a diffrent light and learn more about themselves! Wow! You made my day!!!

This makes me realize that the only person (who matters) doubting you...
...is you.
Finding a way to use self-doubt as a motivator to take action is like parting the clouds on your own. Do we have a superpower @Lee?
Maybe. But anyone could get it.
Ssshhh…..whisper it quietly or they’ll all want it 😉
