Doubt.

I have written a three part series about this thing called doubt <which I believe we all face and fight>.

Links to all are at end of post.

Anyway.

I began thinking about doubt because of a couple of very personal self doubt, self direction writings from a delightfully talented 20something Jamie.

She reminded me of the sometimes overwhelming doubt minefield we traverse through life.

She also reminded me of a delightfully talented and funny guy, Josh Kilmer Purcell, who I truly admired and liked when I worked with him who wrote one of the most painfully insightful personal books (I Am Not Myself These Days: A Memoir) on the dangers one can encounter in the minefield.

She also reminded me to look around and see who I knew who may be struggling thru the minefield now in their life.

So.

I wrote.

Some from personal experience.

Some from having managed dozens of people and caring about them as people not just business employees.

Some writing just from the heart.

Okay.

Maybe all from the heart.

Anyway.

Thanks Jamie.

You got me started.

And you?

Keep moving forward.

You are doing just fine.

Just like me at your age you may explode a couple of those mines and sometimes it may feel like you have had your ass blown up but the odds are if you are still moving … your ass is fine.
