I trusted my abilities.
They did NOT disappoint me!

Trust in our abilities is essential
When we are seemingly faced with something impossible, we should remember we always have all the tools we need within us. The ability to motivate and believe in ourselves is a powerful source. With determination and purpose, we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals. It is crucial to shape our inner dialogue positively and believe in our strengths. We can tackle challenges and fulfil our dreams through self-reflection and developing strategies.
When we are insecure, for whatever reason, we doubt ourselves and our abilities easily. In this case, it is helpful to acknowledge how many problems we have already solved. Which obstacles have we managed or skipped over?
We stumble over stones - not mountains
Maybe we stumble. So what? Possibly we are falling. So what if we do? It's an experience we are very familiar with, even if we don't remember it. When we learnt to walk, we sat on our bottoms countless times. And what did we do afterwards? We simply got up and tried again. Meanwhile, we are experts. Most of the time we don't fall.
We always forget one thing: if we stumble, fall, or fail, we have learnt some lessons. We have learnt how not to do this or how we should behave. We may have seen something on the ground that we would otherwise have missed. Perhaps we simply need to slow down or move more carefully. We have learnt many lessons along the way.
This brief statement always reminds me of everything I have already achieved, how many supposed problems I have solved and what obstacles I have overcome. In moments like these, when I can recall the memory, I realise how much this has trained my skills. The biggest hurdle is often my mindset, where some insurmountable scenarios arise in my imagination.
Ergo: Don't believe everything you think.
Our mind is often the largest stone we need to clear away. This critical, incessant admonisher is far too often too timid. But how would we ever have learnt to walk if we had listened to our minds? We would still be crawling around like a toddler. That would be pretty exhausting in the long run.
Often we expect others to trust us. But how can anyone else trust us if we don't trust ourselves? Of course, we can pretend to be 'trustworthy'. Sometimes it works. But we have to ask ourselves how credible we are. In the long run, our lack of self-confidence hollows us out and our hard-won skills atrophy. What remains is an empty shell.
Of course, we have "inherited" some of our abilities. But if we don't train our talents there will be no development or growth. In many cases, talent is not enough. We need to develop the ability to use our "gifts" properly. I have written a poem about this, "The Gift", which talks about how unfortunate it is when we don't appreciate or know how to use these gifts that life has given us. May it be an inspiration to you.
Conclusion: trust yourself, trust your abilities. Be aware of yourself and embrace your true greatness. Even a mountain cannot harm you.
