Ever start something new and feel so daunted by it you almost give up? That feeling happens to me a lot. Although I’m not a doom and gloom pessimist all the time, it’s easy for me to see the un-bright future of everything. The voice of caution is loud for me. “Be careful!” “This is going to take a lot of work!” “Do you think you can really do it?” “What if you have to ditch your ambitions? What will people say?” “What if you jump into the future and find out it’s been a flop?”
Sometimes I feel like this guy
It even happens to me before I cook a big dinner. I think to myself, “Am I actually going to pull this off?” I worry that this guy won’t get what he’s looking for.
But two hours after I chop some things and pop them in the oven, everyone is full of food and compliments. In general, with perseverance, even things greater than cooking work themselves out. But that doesn’t stop me from feeling like this in the beginning
I have to tell myself I’ll be here in no time if I work at it
And shut down the voices that tell me I might be here
As a great person must have said at some point, Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And stop looking at that last picture. And check out my new YA romantic comedy.

You are not alone! I feel the same most days! hahaha It’s so difficult to start something.
I’m glad to see the comments fixed! <3
I feel this way quite often and it is hard to get out of this self-defeating mindset. I used to be so bad, especially when I started college. I would sabotage myself before I even started, telling myself that I can't do it. Surprisingly, I found out that most of the time I COULD do it and even if I faltered a little bit it was still beneficial to me.
Who knows why we do this to ourselves?
It’s so important to be our own biggest and loudest cheerleaders! I have often felt like a task is way too daunting. It turns out that I’m never right about that. Thanks for sharing!
i feel the same way sometimes.. one thing for sure.. never give up!
