The Way I Feel…

There are people all throughtout the world that doubt themselves at some point in their life. I have caught myself on many occasions, doubting myself that I couldn’t do something, or I wasn’t good enough. There could be many reasons in ones life, of why they doubt themselves.

Personally I think that one of the main reasons is because a person feels that they “CAN’T”. I was always told to never say this, because there is no such thing as can’t! I have been told this by my parents, teachers, even my brother! However, I do have to agree with them. When I first hear them say this, I get mad, but when I stop and think about it it really does make sense. I would doubt myself I couldn’t loose weight, because I was too far gone, but when i set my mind to it and deleted the word Can’t from my vocabulary, I started to loose weight. It wasn’t as much as I would have liked, but it was still progress.

I had found a video on You Tube, and the woman talks about how 1% of doubt erases, 99% of your determination. I never had thought of it that way, but it really makes sense. When you doubt yourself, it is like making yourself believe you can’t, or your not good enough etc.

I feel that the video was very fitting for this topic, and that was one of the reasons I had chosen it. I have learned to not doubt myself as much, because for one I realized I can do anything I want and put my mind too, and two my motivation sunk and I felt really upset. I would be upset because I just presumed I couldn't do it before I actually tried!
