Big Trust Quotes

“The mistake isn’t having self-doubt. The mistake is thinking you have to defeat it. You don’t overcome self-doubt by silencing it—though that’s what too many of us believe (and too many “experts” teach). You take away its power by noticing it, understanding it, and changing your relationship to it. You unhook from self-doubt when you see it for what it is: a misguided attempt to protect you. That’s the irony. Self-doubt isn’t trying to sabotage you; it’s trying to shield you.”

“The irony is that while you’re chasing “flawlessness,” you’re not living. Perfectionism stops you from trying new things, finishing projects, or taking risks. The fear of failure, or falling short, convinces you that other people’s opinions have the power to destroy you. But often, this fear itself leads to the very failures you’re trying so hard to avoid. Because you wait. You hesitate. You tell yourself, I’ll put myself out there when I’m sure it’s bulletproof. You stay trapped in the illusion that “more effort” or “more planning” will bring perfection closer.”
