I don’t know, but I can be super impatient at times. After all, it has become easier and easier to have everything at our fingertips. As a result, leaving us with the expectation that everything will come instantly. Because not everything comes to us instantly. Some things take time sometimes; you need to Make More Mistakes.

To be a Master of anything takes time.

While we want to be a master, we want to be a master right now. However, to become a master at anything takes time. In fact, it takes trial and error. It takes learning how to do things. Furthermore, each of our brains thinks and learns differently.

Yes! Learn from others

Absolutely, take the course and get the certification; yes, do that. In other words, I 100% believe that we ought to be a team and learn from others who have walked the path to reduce our personal struggles.

However, we also must walk on our own to experience mistakes and grow as individuals. When we make mistakes, it gives us feedback on what we should do differently.

It’s okay to make more mistakes.

Now, this is important; it takes years to master skills. What comes along with that skill mastery is making mistakes.

That is the best way for us to learn.

Why does this work? Can you give me an example of a mistake that did not come with learning? 

As the saying goes, I’ll never make that mistake again. Stick with me now; mistakes shock us out of auto-pilot and back into the current moment. Besides, they allow us to laugh at ourselves to learn from our mistakes. To know better for next time. They lead to the life that we want to have. 

Don't get me wrong, there is comfort in the easy answers. Those mistakes, they’re the difference makers. That learning is the piece that I personally remember. It’s not the memorization of the subject. The mistakes that I made along the way gave the most fantastic feedback and learning.

Do you have an example in your life that instead of looking at the mistake as feedback, you chose to dwell in the mistake and beat yourself up mentally? What good did that do? The mistake is in the past; nothing you can do will change it. What you can do is take your new found knowledge from that mistake and do better the next time around. 

After all, life is about perception. How you choose to perceive it is up to you and only you. 

If you need a little help looking at life from a new perspective, I’ve got you. I help my private coaching clients do so. The link to work with me is right here or down below. 

✁ Just a Snippet

Here is just a snippet of the important points you know for the skimmer in you. 🤪

• We are so impatient. We want to have everything right now.
• We want to be a master and not put in the work to be a master.
• When we make mistakes, it gives us feedback on what we should do differently.
• If we float through life without laughing at ourselves, what fun is that?
• I know this from personal experience; I take things way too seriously. I’ve had to learn to laugh at myself when I make mistakes and say, oh well.
• Is it better to step outside ourselves and look for the simple joy and happiness that life may have hidden in our mistake?
• What if, instead, we look at mistakes as redirection to get us where we want to go?
• A light-hearted attempt to get us to know ourselves a little bit better. To not be so worried about what others think of us.
• It takes years to master skills; mistake-making comes with that skill mastery.
• That is the best way for us to learn. It is the best feedback.
• Can you give me an example of a mistake that did not come with learning?

Doubting Michele is at it again. I’m guessing you can relate to me. I find that anytime I’m about to break through or level up doubting Michele begins to work overtime in my mind. Anytime that I’m exceeding my goals, feeling extra proud of myself for my decisions, and at peace with my life that voice of self-doubt begins to flare up and get really loud.

After all, that is the Michele that doesn’t believe with her whole heart that God has her back.

In fact, she is so silly to believe all those things.

Do you know the voice of self-doubt?

Do you know the voice of self-doubt that I’m talking about? In other words, the voice that tries to limit you from your greatness. To put it differently, the voice in your head that doesn’t want you to get out of the comfort zone for fear of judgment or rejection.

The voice of self-doubt is selfish

What the voice of self-doubt doesn’t get is, by playing small and hiding really we are being selfish. Which is the complete opposite of what most of us want to accomplish in our lives and how we want to be seen in our lives.

What most people don’t realize, is that voice of self-doubt is not thinking about anyone but themselves.

They are caught up in their own made-up thoughts. Now, this is important, they’re either stuck in the past or worrying about the future.

Shh, the voice of self-doubt

These days I catch on to her tricks pretty quickly. As a result, I pick up what she’s laying down. In fact, I laugh about it and examine every single doubt. As well as every single limiting thought.

Asking myself “Is this true?” “Is this what I truly believe about myself or is it my fears?”

Then I chuckle at doubting Michele and thank her for keeping me safe.

After all, I gently remind her that the LORD gave her everything she needed to be an amazing wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, business owner, and life coach.

Do you listen to that voice?

Friends, how do you handle your voice of self-doubt? Do you fall for their tricks or do you gently remind them why you are amazing?

Each of us is amazing and we get to choose to believe that for ourselves. We get to choose to shh that voice of self-doubt when it tries to dull our sparkle.

All of us are made to sparkle and shine on everyone that comes in contact with us.

Because we need to be the light that people are pulled to when they have their own voice of self-doubt. When they need to feel loved, cared for, and appreciated.

If we listen to the voice of self-doubt it can consume us with negativity. There is no peace and no joy in our negativity.

Friend, if you need that person in your life to shh the voice of self-doubt until you’re able to do it yourself I invite you to apply to work with me.
