Doubt

People will doubt you.. perhaps some will doubt you more than the ones that believe you. You could have 10 people doubting you, but you need only one to believe you. Guess who?  Gander in the mirror.

And for the people that doubt you, let that be a motivator. Prove them incorrect. Get your quiet satisfaction that comes with overcoming your obstacles. It's not your mouth that speaks loudest, it's the accomplishments.  No need for hurrahs; no need for pomp.  Whether they acknowledge it or not, they know.  How do they know? People are terrible actors. Read on, readers.

 We people, are better at being perceptive than we are nonchalant.  You can't "act" perceptive, we are that inherently. You can however "act" nonchalant. It's a practiced behavior that we partake in to display to others that we don't give a rat's ass... even though we do.  There will be people that dislike you for your successes. There will be  people acting like they don't see you. They refuse to give you kudos or due credit. There will be people that actively doubt you but yearn to possess what you exhibit. They watch you, and the minute you eff up, they are quick to point it out and they start feverishly penning the prologue of your story. Much of it, probably fiction.

Truth Be Told: Doubt is also a debilitator. It can take away the  very core of your strength...if you let it. If your faith is not bigger than your fear, than doubt will overtake you.  Do not let another's doubt define you.   Pick up the pen yourself, write your own rough draft, make your corrections, write your prologue,  your chapters, and YOUR happy ending..
