Hesitations vs. Gut Feelings

Not quite doubting, but just having ever so slight hesitations about things. I mean, I'm not wanting to change my mind about anything serious, but I have this tendency to not trust my decisions, skills, work, etc--just about everything I do. And it's really exhausting.

I wish I could shrug off my suspicions and just trust my decisions, choices, creations.

How to do this? I'm not sure. I do know that I'm happy with my life, where I'm at, what I'm doing, who I am. Overall. Just that doubting whisper creeps in and lessens my excitement or passion for things because I'm not 100 percent certain that this is the right thing to do, or if this is the exact best way to word something.

And then I've been thinking. How do I know that there actually is a "right" choice with these decisions. Don't confuse my hypothetical life decisions or creations with ethical ones, I'm not saying there is no black and white with those things. That's not what I'm referring to.

But what if it's just choice A or choice B. I suppose that could be true, but then I find myself wishing I could see the outcome of each one, then make my final choice. Of course that's not plausible, but I think that's the root of my hesitations.

I can't feel sure of my choice because there "might" be another, better outcome. Exasperating!

In many situations where I need inspiration, I look up quotes on the topic online:

• "The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure." -Sven Eriksson

• "Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong." -Peter Mcintyre

So maybe I need to stop doubting everything and just go with my gut feelings and hope and pray for the best. Stop looking around and start looking forward.
