Self doubt is the number thing that have hold people back. We all know that for us to achieve something requires us to change. Most of us have this fear of our own capacity to embrace change in our lives.
I have been facing an incredible amount of doubt recently. Especially about my career at times.
I believe everyone does, especially the most successful. Doubt is only natural because it’s an indication that we are changing. Doubt is a sign of fear which arises from change.
So, instead of being miserable about the doubt, choose instead to take the negatives out from it. Choose to acknowledge the fact that you are changing and it could only do you good.
Instead of being doubtful of the next course of action, do some other things. Take a rest and recompose ourselves. Calm ourselves to acknowledge the doubts and fears that we have first. And then take action in spite of that doubt. It’s scary no doubt.
Always hold in mind that the benefits of an intended action would be much worthy compared to the pain of change in which we will have to experience.
We all experience it. It’s just the matter of dealing with them.
I’m currently trying to deal with mine in a better way as well.

Today marks the first one percent of the year. It might seem like I’m weird to count how many percent the year has gone. I actually admit I am. I kind of believe in tracking my progress in my goals for the year. That’s why the time tracking has been slightly too intense.

I planned to work today. I remember very clearly how last night I wanted to go to the office to make some phone calls and to find for more property listings. However, I just didn’t have the mood the moment I wake up. I felt like just chilling.

Normal dilemma question: Do I force myself to go to work? (as a mark of discipline) or do I just follow what I feel like doing? (as a mark of following my heart and the flow)

I guess we all have this normal dilemma, don’t we. We all have these days where we just want to just relax and just do what we like. I am aware of the importance of discipline though, but I am also aware of the importance of only doing things when you feel like it.

Discipline vs Being In The Flow

I don’t know actually. What I know is that through experience, only do doing things when you’re in the flow really brings me joy. Forcing myself to do something might bring me happiness, but only sometimes.

How do I reconcile this?  Discipline vs Being In The Flow

What brings more fulfillment? Being In The Flow does

But…

What brings the results? I wouldn’t know which one though. Discipline is said to bring us results, but is results all that there is?

Why do we need to be so disciplined if we know that what we desire is going to manifest?

Just do what I feel like doing. I feel like doing some writing today. I feel like going for a walk today in the park. I think I’ll catch a movie later. I feel like just following my heart.
