Doubt is the thief of dreams; it steals our courage and keeps us from even trying, while failure can be a teacher that guides us toward success.
Dreams are often fragile, requiring courage and belief to bring them into reality. Many dreams remain unfulfilled not because people lack the ability or opportunity, but because they struggle to believe in their potential to achieve them.
Self-doubt acts as an unseen barrier, often preventing people from even taking the first step toward their goals. When we doubt ourselves, we create mental roadblocks that overshadow our abilities, focusing more on what could go wrong than on the possibilities of success. In contrast, failure, while painful, can be a teacher, offering lessons and resilience that can fuel future attempts.
Unlike failure, doubt doesn't leave us with experiences to learn from—it simply stops us from trying. Only by overcoming self-doubt can we truly see what we’re capable of achieving.
