It’s not all the time and it is not everyday but there are moments when I feel weak.
I know it’s not true but self doubt and negativity creep into my mind.
When I feel this happening it reminds me to double down on gratitude. It remember all the things I am proud of and how far I’ve come.
These moments of weakness can be initiated by someone or something else. It doesn’t matter where it starts but be aware of the negative energy and get rid of it as soon as possible.
Sometimes we feel down, weak, stuck in a rut, unmotivated or feel like your not growing.
Everyone has been there and you’ll be there again if you are not there now.
There is nothing to be ashamed. It is a normal experience or emotion.
The tricky part is how fast you can bounce back.
Maybe you have a significant other that will talk you up. Maybe you have a long streak you don’t want to break. Maybe you have to be accountable to other people. Maybe you can do it on your own through working out, meditation or music.
Whatever it is just keep going and get back up!
This a a great book that talks about the power of vulnerability. There is no shame in vulnerability. Putting yourself out there even though you have failed before is a great skill to cultivate. In baseball it is like stepping up to the plate to a pitcher who has been striking you out all day.
You need to be completely honest with yourself and everyone else. Honest about your strengths and your weaknesses.
Put your true self out there no matter what happens.
Be open to criticism and feedback of others.
Be so confident in your own skin that others opinions of you have no effect on you as a person.
Everyone is going through there own battles but you being open about yours makes it easier for other people.

How we look at strengths and weaknesses can make all the difference. When looking for people to join your team you should focus on strengths and not weaknesses. Look for someone who can excel at what you looking for even though they may have many glaring weaknesses. You need to know exactly where your own weaknesses are and this is what you should be looking for in other people. Surround yourself with people who are better than you.
When learning you must confront your weaknesses and not knowing something. You may be a complete beginner or already knowledgeable but you also have to be humble that you do not know everything. There is a level of vulnerability one must have to admit they do not know it all. This vulnerability can be scary but getting comfortable with it will open up huge opportunities for learning and growth.
You don’t know what you don’t know.
There is so much in the world that it is impossible to know everything. The good thing is there are so many people who have already done research for you. They have written books, recorded videos, written blogs and teach classes.
You must surround yourself with these people. You have your strengths and other people have theirs.
