Self-doubt

We are all supposed to shine bright!  One light cannot dim another.

What is self-doubt?  Besides annoying!  I mean...where does it come from?  Where does it originate? What is its purpose?  Those questions, I cannot answer.  But I can tell you where it DOESN'T come from.  It doesn't come from your spirit, your soul, your authentic self.  It doesn't come from God or the Universe.  Nope.  Those tell us how amazing, unique, and irreplaceable we are.  Those remind us that we come from love which means we are love.  And from love...only amazing things happen!  I think self-doubt may come from our ego. Which is the same as our insecurities, unworthiness feelings, feelings of not being good enough.  The ego is not the TRUTH.  Don't listen to it.  Listen to your heart, your spirit, your soul, and Universal LOVE.  You are wonderful.  You can accomplish that goal or that dream you don't tell anyone about (because you think you're not worthy of achieving it).  Yes you are!  And yes you can!  We are ALL here to succeed and love.  We are all bright stars and your shine cannot dim someone else's.  We are all supposed to be wonderful!  So stop listening to your ego. He's not your friend.  Listen to your subtle quiet voice.  The one you can only hear when you quiet your mind.  THAT voice is your friend.  The one that loves you, encourages you, and guides you.  I KNOW that you ARE good enough, worthy enough, talented enough, and unique enough to achieve your inner most secret dreams.  Please believe that.  Today take a chance on yourself.  Take one step towards your dream or goal that you had given up on.
