Doubt does not negate the dream.
“Doubt does not negate the dream.”
This one sentence re-opened every past dream that I had walked away from. Doubt was so sneaky! Doubt had crept in without me noticing and it covered up my business dreams and aspirations.
I knew that I wanted to use my coaching and consulting expertise to help women entrepreneurs become wildly successful. Somehow a small seed of doubt quietly grew. I began to stray away from my desire. I started to look to other areas of potential coaching. Honestly, I spent a lot of time and energy questioning everything and eventually I found myself without any future aspirations at all. You see, I am a visionary. If I stand still for 5 minutes I can see well into the future and have a clear picture of my future business. It is a beautiful gift. But this doubt had covered up my future focus and caused me to question myself and my coaching path.
Back in November, I took a business trip and had hoped that stepping away for a few days would help me see a new picture for my business. Well as it turned out, I didn’t need a new picture or a new dream. I had one. I just allowed doubt to cover it up.
At the event, Brooke Castillo said something about letting negative emotions be present. Something inside me clicked and this sentence changed everything for me: “Doubt doesn’t negate my dreams.” I had unknowingly given doubt my power but once I said that one simple sentence- everything shifted. Over the next few hours it was as if I could see the dream again. The cloud dissipated. The power shifted from doubt to dream.
This is the power of coaching. While I wasn’t getting coached personally, I was watching others get coached. I was participating in their experience by observing and listening to how to apply their coaching insights to my own life.
Once again, I knew my dream.
