As we grow stronger our self-doubt will weaken.

As we grow stronger our self-doubt will weaken. But this is not always obvious, because as we grow stronger we will become more conscious of our self-doubt and will hear it more clearly. Whereas in the past we heard our self-doubt unconsciously to the degree that we may have hardly even noticed it and simply followed its orders, now at times it can torture us with its poisoned arrows of discontent and roadside triggers. In the past it didn’t consciously trouble us much because we weren’t doing battle with it. We were simply trying to fit in and win impossible love just like we struggled to do as a child. Now we are stronger and realise that if we continue to heed its call it will kill us. So we become awakened to the root cause of our problems. It is the only way out.
