K - Norwood, Ontario, Canada * Lack of Confidence
Hi Sunny,
My name is K.B. and I live in Norwood, Ontario.
My interest are gardening and playing music on a keyboard.
I would like to play accompaniment
with our praise and worship team at our church.
I studied and played organ for about 3 years
in my mid twenties, then stopped for about 25 years.
I have started learning and playing the keyboard
about 3 years ago, and I'm throughly enjoying it.
I have resolved, never to quit again.
I was requested by my manager to learn and pass
as a "Certified Cisco Network Associate" about 6 month ago.
I started learning and then just stopped.
I suspect due to lack of confidence.
Shakespeare said:
Our doubts are traitors,
and make us lose the good we oft might win
by fearing the attempt.
That sounds like what happened.
So I'm hoping that your affirmations help.
That being said,
I have tried affirmations in the past
and they work temporarily,
a person has to truly believe that they are true
or they become meaningless.

Additional Comment -- From Sunny :)
Hi K,
Thank You for writing.
I know you can make progress
and I know you WILL ... both with keyboard/music
and with your learning Cisco systems.
Yes, it's natural
and we all - as human beings -
have inner voices of self-doubt and self criticism.
Noticing those voices is the first step
of getting past them.
You've done that.
Now ... try to do it each day.
Each hour ... each minute.
Step 2
... is to appreciate that negative voice
for "sharing" with you.
It's only trying to help you ...
and to keep you safe!
The problem is that it's misguided and uninformed.
So, try to have compassion for it
and "thank it for sharing."
Then, step 3
is to dismiss it.
- flush it down the toilet
- give it lead feet and drop it in the ocean
- make it stand in a corner
- send it in a rocket ship to the moon
Then, finally,
you can go on and move forward.
By the way, K ...
Many people have written to me to say they have used
the daily e-mails to work on big projects like yours
and they have succeeded
writing screenplays, books, etc.
Personally, I find my affirmation CD to be even more helpful.
(This is not a "sales pitch"
It's simply what really works for me
and I think it might help YOU, too.)
If you have any interest,
you can check it out HERE
if not ... that's fine, too.
By the way, I love the Shakespeare Quotation!
In my earlier years,
I also loved the keyboard playing
AND acted in many a Shakespearian Play.
Love the Bard!
Good Luck To You with Everything, K.
Keep Up!
You CAN do whatever you set your mind to ... and that's a fact!
PS... as to really believing ... YES,
what you say is true ... and ...
I've found that I also like UNBELIEVABLE goals the best.
Why?
How can this be?
Well ... even if they are at first "unbelievable"
I find that the more I dwell upon them
and play with them as being believable,
that in fact they become like old friends
and in the end they DO become believable.
And then they become reality.
