Self doubt - an inside jobA very personal and individual inside job.
Self doubt - an inside voice.
Quietly driving and energizing
poverty of self-esteem.
Transition from self-doubt to healthy self-esteem
is a steep climb up a rocky cliff
never sure of footing
loose pebbles beneath
unfamiliar terrain
handholds and footholds
the roots of trees and dry grasses
threatening to trip, break bones and spirit.
Easier to stay at the bottom of the trail
in familiar but ugly terrain
unwilling to see that there are steps up and out
unaware of beauty and growth along the way
space and air at the rise of each summit.
Courage in each faltering step
also an inside job,
has a quiet voice of strength.
“Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever
you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing
to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.”
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
