The Dangers of Self-Doubt And How It Can Break You
Self-doubt is a position nobody wants to be in. This is the factor that impedes the development of character and self improvement. This is where we do not want to be – and once we surrender to this, there is almost no turning back. It is a dark place, treacherous and full of feelings of depression, anger and irrational fear that can sink us further into this hole in our life. What happens when you experience overwhelming self-doubt?
You feel that you are no longer yourself. You look in the mirror and can barely recognise the man or woman that stares back at you, haggard, shoddy. The person in the mirror mocks you, calls you a failure and the floor has overtaken your vision as you look down – and you find inveritable truth in those miserable thoughts. You have lost all control. You cannot do anything and are stuck in a negative cycle that overtakes you – wave after wave that crashes into your once solid foundation and now has whittled it away to nary more than a beach of eroding sand – a mere shadow of what you used to be.
