One of the hardest lessons

When you’re building a project with a team?

You might think the smartest thing to do is trust your team. To “get the right people onto the boat” then trust that they’ll right by you and the project. That they’ll treat you like you expect to be treated.

And if you think that way, you might even be right.

But I find a better route is to learn to trust yourself. To trust that you are reliable, strong, focused, committed, able, skilled, and worthy of everything that lies before you.

That way, if others pull through, lovely.

If they don’t, you still have everything you need, without the sting of disappointment, or worse.

It requires learning to trust yourself. To love yourself. To have confidence in yourself.

For many of us, that’s one of the hardest lesson to learn of all.

Learning it is a life skill that won’t let you down.
