Doubt is the Thief of Joy, or Something Like That.

Daily writing prompt
How do you handle fear and self-doubt?

As a woman, I have struggled with self doubt since I could understand my reflection. It is this constant burning in my body that one day soon, I will be discovered. An imposter.

I handle this with prayer, friends, my husband and my grown children. I try to see myself as God sees me: as a purpose servant.

I have always been fearless, but it is my self-doubt that sabotages me. So, I adopted a mantra: Instead of “what is the worst thing that can happen,” turn it into “what is the best thing that can happen.”

It works.
