The Beginning to Your Doubt

An Explanation on Why You Don't Believe in Yourself

"You were raised to think negatively..."

You want to be happy. That's what life is all about. Doing what you love for a living, with the people you love—with no stress or worry of negativity. There's one major factor that I've found that is a founding reason as to why you have this doubtful, negative, and shaming voice inside your head.

With the same type of experiences, such as millions of people like this, I know what it feels like. You wake up and you feel tired of trying. You don't see yourself as someone who's going to be above average. You can't even fathom making a life on YOUR terms rather than working your one life away in a retail store, or a cubicle—for someone else who decided to shoot their shot the first time.

You were raised to think negatively—not exactly through people telling you to think so, but subliminally through their own negative lifestyle experiences. Have you ever had a dream of being a professional sports player, or a model, or the president of the united states? Let me guess, whoever you decided to tell your wildest dreams and goals to didn't necessarily tell you to drop them, but they you told you that it's very unlikely that it will happen. They would tell you to think realistically and to understand that barely anyone gets to do what they want in life.

That is the negativity that blossomed the unintentionally crappy mindset you now have today. That isn't your fault but that also isn't your voice in your head telling you that you can't do it. It is your fault to allow it to continue though. Whatever you grew up hearing is not the truth and you need to work on changing that instantly. "What your mind believes, you can achieve." That is a powerful and undoubtedly truthful quote.

If you're tired of being bossed around by an incompetent boss, or living week to week on one income that can change in the blink of an eye, then your mindset is the most important decision you need to make immediately. The boundaries of your life are unlimited when it comes to what you CHOOSE to believe and act on. You deserve better than what you believe you deserve. You are a better and more competent, intelligent and powerful person once you take control of your own mind.

When you wake up in the morning, I want you to get up without looking at your phone or technology and walk into the bathroom and stare yourself straight in the face. Tell yourself exactly what YOU want, no boundaries necessary. Let every dream, choice and goal come out. Speak ONLY positive thoughts to yourself. You are beautiful. You are smart enough.

Find your hobbies and work the hell out of them into some form of money making method. It can be in the form of an official career job, or it can be something as simple as selling your skills that you LOVE to do for specific situations or people. If you can work on cars and love doing it, make money helping out neighbors or friends that need things done to their car. Do it for cheaper than a normal mechanic would offer it for, just so you can build the experience as well as bring up a "word-of-mouth" following from those you decide to help. You can build anything out of nothing but it's all up to you.

Be hard on yourself with the truth. You're lazy, you're a procrastinator, you make too many excuses, you complain too much. Excuses allow you to feel better about your negative decision to not do what you love because you're afraid. I want to hear all of that. Tell me your story. Tell me your situation. From one struggle-r to another, I want to hear what you have to say as to why you aren't doing what you love for the rest of your short life. Message me and let me know what you think of this story! I greatly appreciate your time and energy in reading my story.

I make these stories to help those that are currently in the situation that I WAS in not even a year ago. It's a hell-hole and it's something you don't feel you can get out of. The good news is that there are people just like you living their honest, best life that they possibly can all due to a mindset change.

Let me know what you think!! :)
