Do
you ever bet on yourself? When others
offer a contrary opinion, sometimes our inner conviction has to override those
contrary voices and help us to do the thing anyway.
This
is tough to do, especially when those we trust the most offer the strongest
voices in opposition. And if you are a
pleaser personality, that further aggravates the issue.
Nevertheless,
there are times when it is necessary to bet on yourself. Believe enough in your idea regardless of
what others think, say or advise.
How
does one know for sure?
You
will never know for sure. You just have
to trust your instincts and past history.
My
main adviser – Carolyn - doesn't always agree with what I post, and there have
been times when I've gone ahead and published something against her counsel.
That doesn't make either of us right or wrong.
It just demonstrates the convictions I held on that particular point
that was contrary to her opinion. And
the final decision rested with me, as she is always quick to support.
There
are thousands of issues at stake when we talk about a subject like this. One needs to consider past history, past
success, how have others tried and succeeded or tried and failed.
And
after all the data has been analyzed, after all the facts have been weighed,
and after every consideration considered, then you either bet on yourself or
you walk away.
…And
when you bet on yourself, bet with confidence.
Believe!
