You Already Have Everything You Need

by Jenny • October 2nd, 2008

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you do with it.”

What if I told you that you already have all of the skills, resources and talent you need to pursue what you really want?
What if you already knew all the right people?
What if your current job was the perfect one to equip you with the lessons you need for your future goals and dreams?
What if your next opportunity was already available to you?

Let’s try it this way:
Stop for a minute. Tell your inner critic to go take a walk.

You already have all of the skills, resources and talent you need.

So what’s next?

Thanks for the inspiration! I was thinking along this line as well but my inner critic always stops me saying I am not qualified enough to do what I want to do — to be a programmer.

So thank you very much for helping me suppress my inner critic which is pointing me to a direction that gets me no where. I’ll follow your advice and start creating things immediately.

Thanks for stopping by, Victor! I’m so glad this post was helpful for you. I wish you the best of luck in creating everything you want. The inner critic comes out the loudest when you dream big and attempt great things – when you notice it, just say “thanks for the opinion” and move on or replace it with a positive thought instead.
