DON'T BE ROBBED BY SELF DOUBT

   Generally, self doubt denotes lack of confidence in oneself and one's ability. Honore de Balzac said about self doubt;
  "when you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt"
    However, self doubt has many way of getting under ones skin, sometimes one begins to feel an uprising of the thought _"I can't do it, can I do it and lastly I'm not good enough to do it"_.
Self doubt has nothing good to offer than to rob ones power. Hence, one shouldn't allow self doubt to rob ones power and what one is supposed to be, everyone is destined to be something, those thoughts of self hate, self doubt and self-destruction only obscures ones mind and block ones vision once we give chance for it to let hold of one. Self-doubt is a special kind of hell. Sometimes, a small failure makes you question yourself and your abilities to do things beyond your imagination and next thing you know, you feel like you aren’t good enough or smart enough to do thing which in real sense you can even do beyond and that’s about the time you stop trying.

   Nevertheless, self doubt sometimes is come across by the fear one have for something,  the fear that we are inadequate, incapable and so on. However, the deepest fear killer should be that you are powerful beyond measure.

I will like to relate a story of a once lived young genius who, despite having every reason to be crippled by self-doubt, he learned to share his talents with the world:
A four year old boy sits at home, playing with his toys. He’s hungry, but he doesn’t tell anyone. He’s tired, but only his posture reveals it. Four years old and he can’t (or won’t) speak. Every day, his family wonders, “What’s wrong with this boy? Is he mentally disable?” they always asked themselves all these sort of questions.

When he began schooling, his tutors and mates think him a dunce. They try to teach him art and languages, but he doesn’t assimilate like the other kids. He’s only learned enough German to get by. In high school, he repeats his sentences to himself. Everyone thinks he’s slow. He applies to college, but fails the entrance
exams. Eventually, he earns his degree, but can’t get the
teaching job he wants, so he spends his days working in a boring patent office. But, through the many years growing up and thought of as a nobody capable of nothing, the young man told himself a different story. He knew he was good at something, and that something was science. The young man was Albert Einstein and, in 1905, he shared four ideas that became the foundation of modern physics. He was a genius. We all know that today, but it couldn’t have been further from obvious in his formative years. Did he make the impact on the world he did just because he was smart? Does intelligence shine through despite the odds?
