What to Say When Someone in Your Life is Facing a Challenge
We all have doubts. Doubts that relentlessly keep stacking up, paralysing our passions, our ambitions, our dreams. Doubts that can put our willpower into a headlock for days, weeks, months. Sometimes even for life.
So when we are facing a challenge it is often not so much an issue of figuring out what to do, but rather overcoming all those layers of self-doubt that have accumulated over time.
Having to lift all this weight on our own, though, while simultaneously trying to solve the problem at hand isn’t easy. It can crush even the toughest and the most resilient of us.
That’s why hearing the words of reassurance from someone else is so important. It gives us the extra leverage to break through, face the challenge and get back on track.
All you have to say is “You can do it. I believe in you.” It’s that simple.
Say it to anyone in your life who’s facing a challenge. Anyone who’s struggling. Anyone who’s having doubts. A colleague. A partner. A student. A friend. Anyone.
I know, it sounds cliché. Like something old trainers tell their young protégés in movies. Like something that only works in movies. But that’s besides the point. It really does work. That’s all that matters.
