Self-Doubt as Weapon

Self doubt, as odd as it may sound, is actually a secret weapon for blooming.  When properly managed, it is a source of information and motivation.  As a result it can help combat complacency and improve our preparation and performance. It drives us to question results, experiment with new strategies and be open to alternate ways to solve problems;  all tactics that correlate with late bloomers strengths, such as curiosity and resilience.  But self doubt is not only a performance enhancer, it is also a recipe for being a wiser leader, teacher, parent and friend.  Coming to terms with self doubt makes us more compassionate and give s us greater insight in to ourselves and others.

Compassionate honesty is the best way to deal with self doubt.  And reframe it in a healthy way.  Framing it as information and nothing else.
