I think we’ve all been in this situation before. We venture out into uncharted territory, get to a critical moment, and wonder, “what if I fail?” I had this same thought pattern at the start of one of my recent streams, but this wasn’t the first time it’s happened. I remember thinking this same way twice during my doctoral program and yet, I was able to listen to myself and learn how to move forward in the face of doubt. It was a test, really, to see if I was actually committed to the journey ahead of me. What about you? Are you truly committed to finishing or should you just stop now? I’m not you, nor do I know what you’re going through, but before you stop just remember that there is a difference between “no” and “not right now.” Remember, it’s okay to pause Doc and regroup. The end goal will still be there when you’re ready.
