Amazing post. I don’t think I have ever strived my absolute hardest for anything. I think I have always been scared of disappointment. I think I’ll be getting my kids to read this later on! x

Hard work is everything on our way of success no matter what you are going for. And even if you failed in something a thought that you did your best makes it easier to move on.
Thank you for a beautifully written post!

This is so close to my own experience. The difference was that family didn’t really believe in me, so the confidence I had in myself ebbed to nothing. Self doubt in small doses is good but too much, encouraged by others who project their own esteem issues on to you, can turn that doubt into such a crippling mountain that you never feel anything is worth trying again. Now, in my forties, I’m more fearless than I ever was as a child because I only have my win demobs to fight (which I can) as opposed to someone else’s imposed demons (which I can’t fight). A tough lesson to learn. I just wish now I’d been as truly pig-headed and stubborn as the wold assumed I was. I wish I’d had someone who’d had as much faith in me as your dad had in you. Disappointment because of my own shortcomings I could take. Lack of belief in me was enough to feed the doubt and stunt those childish aspirations.
