Yes you can, but you have to start by taking small action every day.
I am the most optimistic, glass half full and “things are going to work out” person in the entire world. I just am, I was born this way. Then, this past week I have experienced some really tough conversations and some really negative people. At some point, I got so discouraged and just wanted to go away.
No matter how optimistic, happy go lucky you are……no matter how good you are and how much value you give…..you will have moments when it feels that none of it matters and when that little dark animal called self doubt comes and takes residence.
