Do You Believe Yourself?

in #teamsouthafrica7 years ago

When you tell yourself that , 'you got this' , 'its okay' that ;' It wasn't so bad'?

When you say you going to do something, thinking that you have all the intention of doing it, but you just don't? Even when you have the time, and remember you , somehow just do not have the will to commit yourself to doing the things you have said?

I have these conflicting moods and because of this my motivation swings.
My personal expectations are a lot higher for myself, setting the bar too be unattainable without truly noticing, until my frustrations get the better of me.

I know I am capable of much more, as are you.
But if we do not know when to take a break, or know when to be satisfied with what we have accomplished thus far, or dreams might end up always being the mirage we make it out to be.

We work so hard to get to this point that there truly is no point worth reaching , as our mental expectations are built upon the harder and longer we work towards it.

That sometimes we may stop believing in ourselves and in our capabilities.
But this should be seen as a sign that we need a break and see how far we have come; sometimes burn out, is the biggest set back.

In the fast paced life that we choose to lead , something as simple as breathing is forgot.
So check in , with you, and with those around you.

Perspective is healthy and allows for balance to come around more easily.
And then doing what we say might be a little easier - just maybe.

In hopes that you believe in yourself, for yourself, in if not, I have the hope that you will get there.

Until Next time...

Believe in yourself and love yourself enough to take time off when needed @fates

Juggling too many things at once makes us disgruntled with life, eventually leading to feeling or being sick in more ways than one.

So believe you are the bigger person when needed, know when to step aside and let life just happen.

You always understand, and have the bestest advice! Thank you

As a variation on this, I have met some people who believe their own lies! The worst of it being that they are not good liars!
I am a great one for tackling too many projects at one time, by the time I reach about 563 years old , I should have completed most of them?, enjoyed your post.

Thank you! By the time you reach 563 years you'll have even more projects you'll be busy with. It's what keeps us going I guess.

I'm happy that you have the ability to see through other people's delusions. It's a valuable gift in this life.

Thank you for stopping by, you are an inspiration in so many ways. So your comments are very much appreciated.

Good advice @fates. Are you taking it, yourself? I hope so. Happy Freedom Day 🇿🇦

Oh I do try.
Often the things I write about, Are like letters to my future self.

I think we forget that we only live once. No second chances at this life

Yeah could be. Sometimes for the very same reason, we want to get things right on the first try.

But one life, one body, one brain and one heart.
If they all worked in unison I'm sure we would be less hard on ourselves.

Good post
I believe your self

Balance and perspective are things I often struggle with. Thanks for the honest piece. Those conflicting moods make sticking something out quite tough sometimes.
