In the end it all comes to that

"The worst thing someone can do to me is believe that I’m better than I really am" (15.Fevereiro.2008)


Curiously enough it’s all about
   - Confidence;
   - Self-awareness;
   - Panic of failing;
   - Fear of looking like a fool.

There’s no way around it. No matter where you go or what you do it all comes down to that. It’s going to follow you everywhere.
It doesn’t matter how good everyone thinks you are you don’t see it. No matter how many times you succeed you won’t get it. No matter how many people admire you you won’t be convinced. Even if rationally you know you should be able to believe in yourself, that theoretically you know that you should be able to do it you can’t push away the panic, the fear. You want to change, you wish you could, you promise yourself you will… But when the time comes you freeze.
Be brave.  Exceed yourself. No-one ever succeeded before ever failing. Keep challenging yourself and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You know the drill, you know all that and yet you can’t prevent feeling so scared.
When I look at some people I wonder if it feels as good as it looks to be so confident about yourself.

So true...

I believe that even confident people doubt themselves and sometimes are scared too...

I also believe that twhat differentiates them is they do not stick to that fear of not acting, not deciding... even if they know they might fail...

For the better and for the worse it's basically a work in progress...
