‘How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far’
Since success in a globally integrated and fully interdependent world is about building positive, selfless, mutually responsible and mutually complementing connections with others, the only obstacle I have to overcome is my own selfish, egoistic, hateful nature that stops me from building such connections. And overcoming this obstacle is impossible without the help of a purposeful, mutually supportive and mutually complementing environment, that applies a special, practical educational method to achieve the purpose.
The only thing that held me back from ultimate success was self-doubt, and that was mainly because of setting a time limit to achieve, when I let that go I became less self-doubtful, allowing me to fulfil my destiny. I always had the talent, it was time that was my enemy initially, but my friend in the end. Self-doubt can be a troubling and persuasive voice that holds you back. It holds you back from seizing your opportunities. It makes getting started or finishing things harder than they need to be. Sure, it can sometimes be useful as it helps you to soberly see your current limitations or simply recognise a half-baked or bad idea. But mostly, it holds you back in life.
When you keep your thoughts on the inside they can become distorted, exaggerated and not very much in line with reality or reasonable expectations. Just letting them out and saying them out loud helped me to hear how exaggerated these thoughts have become, and by talking about those doubts with someone that is supportive I got a change in perspective.
