Give yourself some credit....
Because you likely aren't.
At least not enough.
As someone who has both benefitted from much privilege and who has taken calculated risks that have both paid off and not paid off, I can relate to a process of weighing the critique much too heavily.
In essence, we don't give ourselves credit for all the W's but certainly have a detailed accounting of all the L's.
We hear criticism much more loudly than applause. Even in our own psyches.
But the reality is that 99.99999% of the people on this list are doing great things, trying to do great things, and in all cases, are putting serious effort in to make their lives what they want them to be as far as vocation, work, business.family, and life in general.
So props to YOU, fellow doer of things!!!
Stop being your worst critic and soak up the sunshine.
Take new energy from the confidence you have always had, but sometimes forget about.
You are an intrepid traveler, stop and pat yourself on the back!!! You have done well and will continue to!
Big deep breath in through the nose! And a massive exhale out!!
Yes... onward.
