The Human Condition

  There is nothing more debilitating to the human condition then doubt. Now I don't speak about the every day considerations that might bring about worry. Things like, Will the traffic be bad again today? But rather, I speak of self doubt! Doubt and confidence are two things that don't go together well. To be at the top of your game, no matter what your game is, self doubt will eventually bring about failure.
Failure after failure, until at last, depression sets in.
  The most obvious example of what self doubt will do, is in the world of professional sport! An athlete who harbors too much doubt will see his skills deteriorate quickly.
Thoughts come and go, and opinions change only after time, but you must never give in to doubt! But be careful also of over confidence. Because when confidence becomes an over stuffed ego, there is real trouble at the door! Lord knows we have more blowhards already then we need! So as with everything else in life, you must choose a place in between the two extremes.
