Summary
Listen to episode 1032 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Conquering Your Self-Doubt. Edited and adapted from Personal Power by Keith J. Thomas.
Motivational Podcast Excerpt: Doctors say that the human frame is never called upon to suffer more pain than it can bear. If the pain grows beyond the limit of human endurance, we lapse into unconsciousness. The same is true of the mind. Nothing is asked of us in this world that we are not capable of giving.
As the mind will feed upon doubt, so it will feed upon hope. When doubt comes into the mind, throw it out. Do not admit any consideration other than that it has no business there. Say, “I can do this — I will do it,” and you will succeed. But so long as you admit the slightest possibility of failure, just so long will there be an influence in your mind that is preventing you from putting all your energies into your task.

But the common experience has been feeling rather alone at the start, and getting overwhelmed by all the things you have to do, all the different hats you have to wear. Finding the right tool that not only helps you |
| 0:21.9 | out but simplifies everything can be a real game changer. And for millions of businesses, |
| 0:27.9 | that tool is Shopify. With Shopify's help, you can launch a beautiful online store fast. It's like |

| 1:53.1 | For the timid and hesitating, everything is impossible because it seems so, says Sir Walter Scott. |
| 2:03.7 | The converse is expressed in the English proverb, |
| 2:07.5 | nothing is impossible to a willing mind. |
| 2:10.9 | The limit of our achievements is the power of our own thought. |
| 2:16.4 | The mind grows on what it feeds upon. If you allow doubt |
| 2:20.6 | to occupy any place at all in your mind, that doubt will grow there. A little hesitation |
