🎬 Scene Setter: The “What If” Roadblock
Imagine standing at the edge of a bridge that leads to the life you’ve always dreamed of—💼 your dream job, ✈️ traveling the world, 🏡 a happy home. But there’s a voice in your head saying, “What if I fail?”
Sound familiar? You’re not alone! That voice of self-doubt can feel like a heavy anchor 🪝 holding you back. Today, let’s learn how to cast it off and cross that bridge toward your best life! 🌉
📖 Why We Doubt Ourselves
Self-doubt often stems from three main sources:
1️⃣ Comparing ourselves to others.
2️⃣ Fearing failure or rejection.
3️⃣ Recalling past mistakes.
💡 Did you know? A study by the University of California found that 85% of what we worry about never actually happens! So, why let fear dictate your life?
