No
room for doubt
Have your doubts become too comfortable and
familiar? Are your doubts such a big part of your life that they’re holding you
back?
Keep in mind that doubt is nothing more than an
opinion. You may have good reasons for doubt, but that doesn’t necessarily make
it true.
When you have your doubts, what you don’t have is
action. When you fill your mind with doubt, you crowd out the positive
possibilities.
Certainly it pays to be careful and realistic.
But that doesn’t mean you must be doubtful about your own abilities.
Instead of hiding behind your doubts, make the
effort to prove them wrong. Instead of letting the doubts hold you back, choose
instead to let the challenges push you forward.
Leave no room in your mind for doubt. And you’ll
make plenty of room in your life for real fulfillment.

Highest
expectations
If you’ve been disappointed, it’s tempting to
lower your expectations so you won’t be disappointed again. But that’s not how
it works.
In reality, when you expect less you’ll be
disappointed more. The lower you aim, the less fulfilling your life will be.
You deserve a life that’s full and rich, so set
your expectations high. And see each disappointment as an opportunity to set
those expectations even higher.
In one way, disappointment is a good thing
because it means you are making an attempt. The key to fulfillment is to keep
making those attempts, to keep raising your expectations, and to work your way
forward.
A strong sense of purpose is what will keep you
going. By continuing to expect the best of yourself you can move quickly away
from each disappointment.
When you fail to reach your expectations, raise
those expectations even higher. Make it meaningful enough and you’ll make it
happen.
