Is Self Doubt So Bad?

What if self-doubt weren’t so bad? What if you changed the way you related to the self-doubt you experience? What if it were simply an indication of something you love and desire? What if it became a source of motivation and inspiration?

A quote below from War of Art by Steven Pressfield in case you need to hear it today.

"Self-doubt can be an ally. This is because it serves as an indicator of aspiration. It reflects love, love of something we dream of doing, and desire, desire to do it. If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are.

The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death."

Read those last two sentences again. And again. They hit.
