Quick question — how many decisions have you second-guessed today?
Not the big ones. The small ones too. What to say, what not to say, whether to send the text, whether to speak up in the meeting. If you're running a constant background check on yourself before you act, that's not caution. That's self-doubt running the show.
Here's the part that stings a little — the people you respect most aren't the ones who never doubt themselves. They're the ones who decide anyway, and trust they can handle whatever comes from it.
Self-trust isn't built by waiting until you feel sure. It's built by acting before you feel sure, enough times that your own track record starts backing you up.
So be honest — where in your life are you second-guessing yourself the most right now?
