We under estimate what we’re really capable of! When we `pull-out-all-the-stops’, we find ourselves on the adventure of our lives.
What are all those stops?
- Perhaps, our feelings of inadequacies because of our past failures?
- Low self-esteem… we feel not good enough for some silly reason or other?
- Perhaps because we feel we don’t have enough education?
- It could be that we think we don’t have enough capital money to achieve our goals?
Is it fear?
Of what? Is it that serious? Why do we allow it to stop us from living our dreams?
Is the bar too high?
Other people setup such high standards… it’s hard to reach their level of achievement? So why do we care about how other people are doing, when we have special talents of our own!
From my own experience:
- Decide what you would like to do. Begin anywhere, with anything you are good at.
- Smile while you are doing it. Happiness is a great booster of confidence and pleasant consequences.
- My motto: “Cast on stitch by stitch, knit one row at a time. Row by row, before you know it… the `jersey’ is finished.”
- And silly me, I never give up! Even when I think I’m wasting my time. I suppose it’s because I love what I do.
How to win against all odds:
Believe in yourself and your talents. And push your own talent boundaries.
- Give more than what you expect of yourself. `Go the extra mile’ in what you are doing.
- Find ways you can do better. Seek knowledge and facts. Try them out. See how they work for you.
- As the saying goes: `Practice and experience makes perfect’. Only after you have done a lot, over time do you see where you have improved your skills!
- And amazingly the consequences, you'll get to understand how money follows to those who get up and do something. That something, whatever it is, is like a foundation to build on, to kick off from.
How does this apply to blogging?
Satisfying your readers is more important, than your inadequacies.
- If you care more about them, your confidence will grow, and so will your followers.
- Why? Because your writing skills are affected by your open relaxed, caring personality.
- Followers get to know how much you care. And to what lengths you are willing to help them.
Consequences:
The more you give, the more you receive. And the more you write; the more connections you make.
Opportunities only come, when you open the doors yourself!
And friends and customers only come in, when you give them a warm welcome and there is something really nice waiting for them to enjoy!
