Is there any better feeling than being in your zone? Knowing you’ve got your mojo, you’re commanding and conquering. You’re taking the world by storm. You’re on your way to the top.
And then…
You lose it. Maybe it happens over time. Maybe it happens in the blink of an eye (but chances are that it happened over time). The truth is inevitable: you’re in a rut.
I love the feeling of being confident. I love that rush, that assurance that it gives. And I hate doubting myself after all confidence has seeped out. I start second-guessing myself. I start wondering what the hell I’m doing.
That’s where I’ve been the last couple of weeks.
But then, one little event took place that gave me a boost. A tiny little lift. One small compliment.
And now I’m pulling myself out of the rut.
I don’t know about you, but I can be my own worst enemy. I let myself get down, and I beat myself up too badly. Instead of adding fuel to the flame, what I should be doing is reminding myself of one little thing: I am awesome.
So whoever made this sign wasn’t an awesome speller. But he’s still awesome!
Seriously, tell yourself this. What’s that? Don’t believe you’re awesome?
Then no one else is going to believe it either. And you’re stuck in that rut. Forever.
Sometimes I remind myself of that one little fact (that I am awesome, of course!) That’s all you really need to know. Don’t tell yourself that you’re competent. Or qualified. Or experienced. Or capable. All of those terms are synonymous with awesome.
And if you took the time to read this post, you’re awesome!
