Fighting your demons!


My friend Cat recently quoted an article by Michael Lee, about "facing your Giants"

But before you face your giants, know who your demons are...

Giants are things you can see.. your demons?..you can't

Because what you are fighting is not something you can see, but what is within you.

One of the most common "demon" is self-doubt.I dare say it could be the mother of all demons. I will tell you a little later on perhaps.

Believe it or not, self doubt is instilled at a very young age. A child doesn't know what is fear, and actually have a lot of self belief. Don't believe, notice what a baby does when it looks at something unfamiliar..maybe an insect or a dog. The 1st thing instinctively it does, is to grab it. Fear is self taught. Because of fear, you will "wonder" if u can touch the dog the next time, cos' it just nipped the poor thing's hand. Teach the baby that it's ok to feel pain, and that u can outgrow the pain, and there will be no fear.

So fear leads to self doubt, and vice versa..

Only 2% of the world's populations go against the grain of what the world tells you to do. The world tells you that you can't break the "speed of sound" barriers..IT'S IMPOSSIBLE..that's the phrase that's often heard. "IT CAN'T BE DONE"..another famous statement..and this is often repeated by the 98% people..and what do they do? They are definitely NOT the movers and shakers. They are not the people who can cause a dent in the universe!

And, with all due respect, you may be falling into this category..and the one who's writing this(thou he's fighting his "demons" everyday)...

And the 2%? well, there are the entrepreneurs..notice i said entrepreneurs.. people who don't get caught in the grudgingly and seemingly routined lifestyle. Of course there are those who actually enjoy what they do, because, money is never the objective for them..i can name a friend who works as a waitress or travel agent for 6 months and travel the world for another 6 months(how she will retire,with some funds,is another question)..so that's another less than 1% pe the total population.

Do you know what stops them from their destiny? Their destiny for greatness, all for the glory of God?

Fear..and self doubt..

If you fight these 2 demons, then you are on your road destined for greatness, for the glory of God.

Because my motto is, i want to touch and impact people's lives...and i wanna be in that 2% elite team, where fear or self-doubt will not thread.

What is your destiny?

What are your demons?
