Jess says
Well, most of the time I can discount when other people tell me I can’t do stuff, but I’m usually my own worst critic, so when I tell myself I can’t do something, it feeds into my brain and that negative thought buries itself deep.
However, I’m working on believing that I CAN do everything, because y’know, I’m just bad ass like that.
Joel Runyon says
Good point Jess!
I don’t know if you read ManVS.Debt but Adam Baker had a post up there a few weeks back about 26 things he’s learned in 26 years. [http://manvsdebt.com/26-life-lessons/]
My favorite thing was “You can do anything you want. No seriously… you can literally do anything.”
The more and more I stretch myself & push myself, the more I realize just how true that statement is.
Matt says
I can definitely relate to what Jess said. I am definitely my own worst critic. Once that self-doubt creeps in, be it from statements made by those around us or just the feeling that the crazy things we want to do are impossible, it’s hard to break that thought process. I want to live in Indonesia and I’m pushing myself hard to do that. Like you said Joel, the more you push ourselves the more we realize that nothing is out of reach.
Joel Runyon says
Totally true Matt.
Sometimes the only limits we have are our imaginations.
