You hit the bullseye for me today Terrell! My heart goes out to your son and everyone else who feels the anguish of self doubt despite their solid abilities and successes. I know the feeling all too well...and the regret of self induced loss of opportunities that could have been. Could've and should've are really sad words so I'm going to dedicate February to practicing today's sage advice. Best wishes to everyone else struggling to overcome self doubt. 💔
I had a bit of a tumble half way through my long run yesterday. It shook me up a bit because it's been awhile since this has happened ( but seriously when you're running more then a thousand miles a year, its bound to happen sometimes). So at 7 miles instead of 13 or so as I had planned. I called my husband, my wingman, and asked him to pick me up in his car. I only had a few minor scrapes and torn gloves, knees of my leggings. I knew I had to get out there today if only for 4 miles to prove this was just a minor set back. I almost talked myself out of it. But I shook myself off and got back on the horse. Reading this today really helped! Thank you for your daily inspiring words. Kara is one of my running idols and just knowing she struggles like the rest of us, is a comforting thought.
Great story! Word problems are hard for me too! Negative self talk is a "vicious reel" holding us back from moving forward. So glad your son did well on the test!!👍👍👍

Needed to hear this! Thanks, Terrell!
Beautifully written Terrell! Thank you! I needed this. 👍🏼
Thank you Terrell. This is exactly what I needed to hear. You are the man.
33 years after my last math class, and I still have the nightmare of sitting in a lecture hall to take a math test I never studied for.😫
I feel for your son, though it sounds like he’s got this!
