"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." Sylvia Plath
When we really begin to significantly doubt ourselves, our entire world starts to fall apart. That's a pretty bold statement, but if we dive into the after effects of what occurs when doubt crawls into our lives, it truly does occur. We can even take it a step farther in regards to chasing dreams. Since the playing field is even more competitive, and doubt comes into our minds, that's when it really does spoil everything or seems to put a complete stop to everything we've ever wanted in this life.
You see, dreams demand everything from you. They demand your full attention, working ethos, keenness, integrity, and desire to sacrifice a good deal to achieve them. But when you start doubting your dream and what you're doing in life, you aren't giving it your all.
When you hear someone talking of a dream, there's this sense you get from them that they know something is going to really happen despite great amounts of anxiety surrounding the entire thing. There's a built-in sense of belief that roots itself so very deeply in that person that they can't even imagine to be on the losing end of the stick. That really is true and real faith.
But when you hear someone who is talking about their passions, and you get the way that they're slightly on edge about it all, you can be pretty sure that they will really never achieve what they set out to do. It's not that you are 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 in the slightest. So pour yourself into what you adore and let doubt flee from your mind. Others may say it's not practical but the unthinkable has been achieved many many times throughout history.
Give it a try. Anything could happen.
