Even when it is obvious that I can do this, I most times doubt myself and when doubt set in, I withdraw and run. I am a poet and a voice over artist. I have been trying to create a YouTube channel for audiobooks for the past one year but I've been so scared to go ahead.

Yeah... Sometimes, doubt creeps in and we stop whatever we already set our minds to achieve. One of the things we can do when it seems we are faced with doubt, doubting ourselves, people around us, our potentials etc., is to take action instantly... We can only kill our fears if we take action and do that which we are afraid of doing.

If you don't mind, I can also recommend some books which may be of help...

1. "Intentional Living" by John C Maxwell
2. "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn" By John C. Maxwell

Those two books are very great. The later will help you to manage and handle failures and mistakes. While the former will give you the reason to do that which you want to do, what you want to achieve. It not only gives personal experiences of Maxwell, but also testimonies of different people who lived a life of intentionality..

I'm glad you are overcoming that already. I can see the link to your YouTube channel. I will subscribe once I drop this comment.

I like what you are doing to improve yourself. Kudos!

Kind regards!
