Self Doubt

It’s such a hopeless, gloomy world for those who walk about without the confidence of mind that takes away self-doubt. But how can you fulfil your aims if you remain inside, protected by your prison walls as in your mind you hide. Waiting there for you to find, although you fear to go, is all the knowledge that you need to help your spirit grow. So take the plunge and break your cage, all is not what it seems. You need to face your inner fears to realise you dreams. You’ll find that once you’ve venture out your fears will soon recede and then you’ll reap the things in life that you need to succeed. In strength of mind you’ll graduate, your confidence will swell and very soon you’ll wonder why you tied yourself in hell. The world’s a place to grow and love enjoyed by all mankind so live it with a soul that’s free, not shackled by your mind. Ivor G Davies

It is easy to say fear is only in the mind, but the hardest thing in the world to face ones own 'fears'. Incidentally, brave people are not the ones who do things fearlessly, they are the ones who are scared but still do them. (both physically or emotionally)
