Trust Yourself: The Key to Unlocking Your True Potentialew Post

I don’t know if it’s generational or just my circumstance, but I spent most of my life listening to others about what I ‘should be’ doing with my life. I was well into adulthood before I learned not just to speak up for myself but to LISTEN to myself.

Maybe I was used to being told what to do or how to do it, assuming everyone else knew what was best for me, even when I knew in my heart it wasn’t. I won’t get into the psychology of it all, but I will share the lesson I learned.

YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE ANYTHING.

There is only one person you need to listen to and one person you owe anything to: YOURSELF.

Of course, it’s okay to talk to those you love about life and get advice, help, and support, but at the end of the day, it’s your life. You have to feel good about your decisions and where they lead you. You must also be confident enough to break away when they don’t.

Sometimes, when I feel lost, as I admit I have lately, I turn to others for help and guidance. And that really does help, but it’s not the answer. The true answer lies within, which can often be difficult to find.

It’s essential to learn to listen to your inner voice just as you would listen to the advice or opinions of others who love you. Learn to differentiate between your true feelings and the voice of inner doubt.

It’s not easy. It takes work, especially when you feel out of touch or lose your sense of direction. That voice in your head can get louder, hellbent on holding you back, filling you with fear and self-doubt.

When you can tune out everyone else, tune into yourself, silence that inner fear, and truly LISTEN, your own ideas and thoughts will guide you in the right direction.

At that point, you can use that voice as your compass, helping you find your way again. And when it’s YOUR voice and YOUR thoughts leading you, that is when your life truly becomes your own.

Once you begin to move forward on your chosen path, whether you make mistakes or succeed, you will find joy in knowing that you chose this path.

You only get one life. Make the best of it. Make it your own. ✌🏼
