Recently a young lady shared with me that she knows that her purpose is to help others learn about his/her purpose. I asked her what is her next move. She said she wasn’t sure. She is holding herself back because of her doubts. This probably sounds familiar to some of you reading this, like it did for me.
Self-doubt can block us from moving forward. We doubt whether we have what it takes. We doubt if we are worthy of our calling. We doubt what people will think about us. We doubt our success. Yes, the doubts and what-ifs that we build up in our minds can paralyze us.
Well! Quit it! Quit holding back! Quit preventing people from being blessed by your talents, gifts and guidance. Imagine if someone like Steve Jobs had quit, because he thought that the iPhone wasn’t possible. What if March Zuckerberg didn’t develop Facebook, because he was worried what others thought of him and his idea? Leaders have doubts and doubters around them, but strong leaders move ahead despite their doubts and doubters.
Quit holding back from living your purpose. I am. I invite you to do so also.
Until next time, keep Living a Diamond Life, Living a Life of Purpose!

My friend Marlene Bryan has written a great article on overcoming self doubt. Sometimes we all just need a little push to get started. Maybe there’s something here for you!
