Self Doubt and Failure are part of the Journey To Success

Sometimes there comes a time where we feel like giving up, feeling totally off and defeated. I have felt that before, I even have friends/ Family who experience such awkward feeling. There is totally nothing inhuman about that, It's a just a natural feeling that helps us remember our human nature; that we should keep pushing.
I personally believe doubt is always there to drive us to believe, so we can have faith. If you happen to be going through that, know that you are doing the right thing. It's a negative force trying to oppose the positive energy you are pursing. You are almost at that point of reaching your desired goals and dreams. This feeling acts as a threshold, final battle before victory. I once meet a man who was trying to strike a business deal for over 5 years. Along these years, He had spent a lot of money and resources, yet things where not working out! We had a brief chat while waiting to board a bus. He looked sad and hopeless. At that time I didn't know what to say to him, He looked a bit older and mature. It was a bit strange to give advice to a man of his Age.
I looked at him and said "All is well, everything big and genuine takes times, just try once more and this time don't overwhelm yourself with high expectations" We talked for about 5 minutes and bordered the bus. Surprisingly, I met the same man about 3 months later and he looked calm and relaxed. After explaining myself to him, I discovered He was still pursing the same business but now focused and calm. He looked different from some months ago. This was something different and positive, He had stopped rushing for quick results, He focused more on building the business up than enjoying results.What about yourself? Are you judging your progress by the outcome? What about the effort towards your goals? For one to enjoy success; energy, strength, patience and diligence must come first. We should also learn that great things take time!!!
