"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." Sylvia Plath
It's when we start to question ourselves in our ability to achieve our dreams that everything begins to call apart. That's a pretty significant statement, but if we are honest with ourselves we know that the seeping in of doubt and fear has the ability to paralyze us completely.
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 ruin everything or seems to put a total stop to everything we've ever wanted in this life.
Dreams are going to take everything you've got. Dreams are going to demand your attention, your care, your time, your patience and everything else in the book. They are going to need you to be on top of your game every single day and take no days off. When you decide to slack on your dreams, you really have no idea how long you've set yourself back.
If you ever really listen to someone talking about their dreams who truly believes in themselves, you get this body sense that's hard to explain. You know that despite the fact that they don't have it all figured out, they will somehow achieve it.
However, when you hear someone whose dreams are living in a world of doubt, you can tell almost right away. Of course you aren't rooting against them, but you know damn well that if they don't believe that it's going to happen it most certainly won't. Dreams function on belief, and without it they won't thrive.
So devote your life to your dreams and what is possible for you. Other people may not be able to see what is possible for you but it's your dream and you are responsible for making it happen. Bring that into the world.
Just do it. Give it a shot.
