"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."
Sylvia Plath
Whether orchestrating life or designing a piece of art, self-doubt can quickly destroy progress. No matter how great the odds are for success, if we don't stay out of our own way, momentum will be disrupted and collapse could easily follow. Too often, we give up prematurely, triggering unnecessary defeat.
Incubation of an idea is necessary, but there comes a time when a crack in the shell is needed to let a little light shine in. A trusted sounding board allows the opportunity to hear our untamed thoughts spoken out loud. As our ideas take on a life of their own, we can evaluate the cadence of how we want things to unfold.
We may have ten faithful cheerleaders surrounding us with praise, but let one small mascot raise a questionable eyebrow, and our ego goes on a rampage. Insecurity allows the foundation to crack and brilliant inspiration tumbles underneath the debris. It is primarily when we believe in our lovely selves that manifestation of dreams comes into play.
