"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." Sylvia Plath
When we begin to question ourselves, our complete world starts to fall apart. That's a pretty powerful statement, but if we actually dive into the after-effects of what takes place when doubt crawls into our lives, it truly does occur. We can even take it a step further in regard to chasing dreams. Since the playing field is even more competitive, and doubt comes into our minds, that's when it actually does spoil everything or seems to put a total stop to everything we've ever wanted in this life.
You see, dreams demand everything from you. They demand your full attention, working ethos, eagerness, integrity, and desire to sacrifice a great deal to gain them. But when you start doubting your dream and what you are doing in life, you aren't giving it your all.
When you listen to somebody talking of a dream, there's this sense you get from them that they know something is going to occur notwithstanding massive amounts of anxiety surrounding the whole thing. There's an innate sense of belief that roots itself so extremely in that person that they can't probably be defeated. That is true and real faith.
But when you overhear someone who is talking about their passions, and you get that they're slightly on edge about it all, you can be pretty sure that they'll never achieve what they set out to do. It's not you're rooting against them, but it's that you know dreams take everything and giving it less than that, well, it just won't work out at all. So pour yourself into what you love and let doubt disappear from your mind. Others may say it's not practical but the inconceivable has been achieved many many times all through history.
Give it a shot. Anything could happen.
