I've just reached a standstill in my life. Where I have everything in place (or so I think) but a full out business war seems all but imminent.

In the past 2 days, I've began to think of the reasons (not justifications, mind you) of the predicament and I've drawn a few conclusions. One of the main factors is the good ol' self doubt.

Thanks lifemantras.com

What I initially thought was just distractions and procrastination slowly turned into a heavier realization that I was suffering from something more. My confidence that stood by me through the past 2 months has turned on me and befriended the ghastly creature of self-doubt. This inadvertently shadowed every move I made or thought I had and caused all the symptoms I talked about earlier.

One of the ways I know to handle this is to not live your life by others' expectations. To only allow yourself to determine whether you're right or wrong. Come to think of it, it's a vicious cycle, really. Before you begin, you think about what others might think should you do this or otherwise. And the less you get the answers you want, the less you move. In turn, the less you move, the less confidence you get which makes you ponder even more?!
Hmm.... well, at least the first point to change is admission, right?
