Monday we wiped away greasy fingerprints of doubt to look through clear-vision dream lenses. What about looking inward? Fearful you’ll find clumsiness, ignorance or total lack of ability? Doubtful. There’s a subconscious wellspring of ability and knowledge that drives you to do what you love, an unmistakable molten core. Too often we allow doubts and fears to cool its hot energy. Can you relate? Or do I alone hear those internal and external voices steering me away from that deep truth? I can tell them to take a hike, but pretending they aren’t there can be exhausting. 

So I conjure the voice of a recent instructor who reminded us that nothing stands in our way. Except our own limiting belief. Why does it matter? How will it get done? Who cares what I have to say? When will I feel any inkling of success on this way-too-long goal? What if I fail? Succeed? But when I tap into that subconscious and follow its lead, those voices can whisper in my ear or holler from the sidelines. They won’t stop me along the way to my definition of success: following the quiet core of my own clear belief.
