Overcome Self-Doubt: One Powerful Rule to Transform Your Life

                                            
To the believer having trouble believing

First how about a little peak a boo back story. I was pretty much always in a state of self-doubt from as long as I could remember.

So, as a child I could not picture myself in grand careers or starting a business or even regular things like being considerably gifted in creating crafts or Art. I had not discovered any talent within myself like none.

I'm sure to many this may seem like a small problem to have but I was so afraid of performing badly at anything that I would not try even worse I wouldn't even consider the thought.

I will save you the mistakes I made and the overwhelming lack of motivation this left me with over the years, we have successfully graduated from that very depressing era and blossomed beautifully into a newfound confidence and self-love.

I have one rule that helped me overcome self-sabotage and self-consciousness and its fairly easy to remember.
The rule is to filter whatever thought I'm experiencing that has me considering running in the other direction of a new adventure so to speak.

First, I ask myself why I think I am incapable of this thing. see it's important to understand because it allows us insight into our own self worth
what do you believe to be true about yourself?

Then I follow up with the facts and I literarily mean that.
Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.


My true filter is the word of God, and the bible tells us exactly who he is and because we have accepted him as our lord and Saviour, we are adopted so to speak to explore that character description as well.

ESV "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

our confidence comes from and should be in Christ Jesus. sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. when only one is truly perfect.
That fact gives us freedom from the responsibility of having to be great at all things we just are not.

I choose to push away the limiting beliefs about myself that simple have no evidence of being true and you can too it's just a matter of choice.

taking every thought captive as the bible encourages us to do helps us be vigilant and we become proactive instead of reactive.

one of the biggest take aways from this I hope to leave you with is it will work if you work it.
That means choosing consistency when you don't see results and not giving up when you experience tough moments.

Here is my conclusion

It turns out I am not gifted in art. but at least now I know that after many attempts.
confidently I believe I have a gift in writing and understanding words but not simply that I have received the gift of wisdom, and I choose to use my words to encourage others uplifting instead of tearing down. I hope this message finds you well and frees your mind to experience hope for the future if you need a road map for hope you can find it in Jesus

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


A little reminder of Gods character God is love and the bible tells us 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
