Ankit yadav, contributor to Dumb Little Man, shares how to overcome uncertainty and make your dreams a reality.
You know the feeling.
You have a dream or maybe a plan. You’ve been at it for quite some time now. Weeks, months or maybe years.
And yet, the dream hasn’t come true yet. In fact, you feel farther from your goal than ever before.
Doubtful thoughts mess with your head in an infinite loop.
What is it that you’re missing?
Are you not smart enough? Is it about luck? Are you too young/old for this?
You feel you know what it takes to make your dream come true, but what if you’re wrong?
Maybe you’re wrong in thinking that you know how to do this.
And that’s exactly what is holding you back.
