You are stronger and braver than most. You can get over this temporary setback.
When you say things like this I think of Rudyard Kipling's If. And then I think you are able to say "Yes I do that." to so many of his Ifs.
You certainly ace the "fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds ' worth of distance run".
Another piece of poetry comes to mind Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

@ninalanyon thank you.. I marked it as bc so it can stay pinned up 💜 I loved the poems ...

@being Thank you. I didn't like literature lessons at school but as I get older I appreciate it (well some of it) more and more. Relating a poem lets me say things more powerfully than I can do on my own.

@ninalanyon yes... that's the power of art... A song, a poem, an image.. they contain information ✨

Actually, it's working perfectly. Your shrinking into doubt is providing you with an opportunity to see what underlies your doubting. You have the tools of introspection and self-inquiry at your disposal. Revel in discovery.

@PhoenixPhail thank you. Some silent time is very important for me right now. Thanks

The power of words both written and said is a powerful thing. The only defense against negative words is to appreciate and love who you are. <3
I know it can be tough, I have those scars too. I try to remind myself daily that it's okay to not be perfect.

“Whatever you think that you will be. if you think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you think yourself strong, strong you will be” - Swami Vivekananda
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

Your strength lives inside your fear. You come out strong when you shrink. You are a braveheart.
When we are low on confidence we must think of what good we have done, how we have been kind to others..think of all the good things we did..

@scorpio611 thank you.... Lately I've been harsh on myself..
scorpio611 · 41-45, M
@being You don't have to be harsh to yourself. You are a good soul. Free spirit
being · 36-40, F
@scorpio611 yes thank you... Sometimes I choose to see more of the dark than the bright...

Reading comments and responses I don’t think it’s so much a confidence issue as much as the negativity you’re being fed. You need to find or chose a project and see it through. After that first step your journey will continue. Go into silent mode, don’t let the outside in to distract you and find your space.
being · 36-40, F
@SageWanderer yes, that sounds like a good plan. :)
daydeeo · 61-69, M
I fear that that might keep occuring until you are reduced to nothing but the very core of what or who you are. When you arrive at your bedrock foundation, you can no longer be shaken.
So, yes, it is working.

anything specifically wrong? can I help? post some of your art, that always helps me.
being · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 thank you.
I'm having ideas about doing things and then opinions of others make my passion and energy fade.
I wasn't like that. I was determined and able to follow through. It's as if I broke down.
I want out of this looser mentality

Know your worth. Value yourself. Have confidence. Develop it. Follow your passions. Maintain your boundaries. Be kind, yet take no shit. Why would you care about what others say? They likely do not know you. Do they pay your bills? Do they live with you? No. Then what they say is irrelevant. Any questions? Oh, and surround yourself with people who care about you. Who are your tribe.

@PoetryNEmotion I was doing a very intense work in Cambodia with a teacher/shaman/friend and a lot of negatives came up. I'm now trying to get myself together and Create again... Next to him my creativity was suffering because I was a student in a strict sense and I had to submit to the teachings and couldn't be free to create..
