WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE... IF YOU KNEW YOU COULDN'T FAIL?!
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” ― William Shakespeare
Would your circumstance and/or situation be any different to what and where it currently is? Have you ever considered "removing doubt" from your life? Doubt is what prevents most of us from achieving the things that we want, or even attempting to achieve them in the first place. So how? How do you remove doubt? To my mind, one of the first things I would suggest is probably the opposite of what people would expect...
ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
Yes. Acknowledge doubt! Have you ever taken note of how you internally "self-talk" when approaching a meeting / interview or a situation that possibly makes you a little nervous You will generally try to "psyche yourself up".
In those pressured situations, our self-talk is in many ways a "knee jerk" reaction... one which is powered by adrenaline... but there is a note to be taken from those moments of positive self talk.
Doubt, can and often does creep into those situations too but is normally overridden by the adrenaline. Your fundamental desire for "success and survival" generally takes care of those little voices in those situations and then you look back and go "how the #$%& did I just do that?!"
The times that I am referring to however, are the ones when you are NOT powered by adrenaline - when those little voices of "negative self-talk" repeat themselves to you over and over, ultimately pushing you into a corner of zero self confidence.How do we deal with THOSE voices?
Like I said... those times of adrenaline have a lesson to offer. When in a highly pressurized situation you are aware of your self-doubt yet you mostly manage to quietly and quickly put it to bed - explaining to yourself that "you can do this". This, in my opinion... is PRECISELY how you should be dealing with doubt on every other occasion. Ignoring it only makes the voice louder.
Speak to it - acknowledge it and the reason/s why it is there and then... no matter how ridiculous it sounds... explain "to it" why it is no longer needed. Much like a tyre that slowly loses pressure - acknowledging and then dismissing self-doubt and negative self-talk, immediately removes power from it.
Try it ;) - No. Not once... EVERY TIME!
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

WHO ARE THE
The Power House Creatives is a discord community of individuals who are committed to producing content which adds value across multiple platforms. We are STRONGLY focused on supporting our fellow members individual growth as well as offering support to those that are still trying to get ahead. We are a CLOSE KNIT community of individuals, each with our own strengths, passions and input, yet ALL willing to go the extra mile for our family members... WHY? - because, simply put - we CARE about one another and MANY HANDS make light work! - THAT is what FAMILY is about! - To infinity and beyond...
INTERESTED IN JOINING THE PHC FAMILY?
As most of you already know our community is closed. This does not mean that we are trying to keep people out or that we ignore those who aren’t members – it simply means that we are focused on keeping our standards of content high and our member commitment higher. I think if nothing else, we have proven those two qualities to the Steemisphere over the last year and even more so in the last seven days.
I am not going to sugar-coat things for anybody, because it would not make any sense whatsoever, nor would it serve anybody fruitfully - long-term. Our community is incredibly proactive - and DRIVING the success and growth of the people within it is our FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE, because this is how they are able to do the same in return for other individuals in communities beyond our own! Our reach extends WAY beyond our own walls and this is one of the primary reasons why it is important to ALL OF US that each of our members are able to hold our flag high wherever they may roam.
We work hard, we play hard - we support one another through thick and thin, we know whats going on in our "3D" lives and no matter what it is - we are there for each other! Yes, there are daily responsibilities and obligations. Yes, there are things that fly within our walls and things that definitely don’t. Yes, we require quite a bit from you as an individual but you get it tenfold in return and ANY ONE of our members will gladly testify to this. Absolutely EVERYTHING is catered for and considered… including those times when you will NOT be able to fulfill your obligations. It simply requires the following of our procedures, which once you have grasped – are not complicated at all - I promise.
Everybody in our community jokes about my “boot” because they know that there are certain things that never were and never will be tolerated within our walls… and when they surface, those people will very quickly meet my infamous “boot” sending them out the door – or at least showing them that it is open. A few such things would be the likes of: not doing what you promised to do when joining, not being a team player, plagiarism, spamming, causing trouble with other members etc. These are all no-brainers really, so should not be much of a shock or challenge to anyone who is actually on Steemit (or any other platform) to make it a better place for everyone!
We may be a relatively small collective, but we have approx. 118 members from over 30 countries and that continues to grow. Most of our members are also key players in some of Steemits other highly regarded and supportive discord communities and initiatives - and all of us at “home” know without question or doubt that every single one of our members will make us proud with whatever they do – wherever they go – and that is precisely how we intend to keep it. Simple as that! No, this kind of “ethos” does not work for everyone – and that is perfectly fine - Each to their own. The people who have done the “putting in” are the ones that understand what they “get out” of it all ;)
So, if I have not scared you away yet, or if the above info excites you (even better) and you would still like to put in an application to join our fantabulous and VERY crazy little family… then by all means – hop into our applications server and do the necessary.
YEAH BABY YEAH - I WANT TO APPLY
