Softer, Mossier Side
Often when I begin something new, I find myself swinging between self-confidence and self-doubt.
It's a tiring dance, this hop-skipping across a rushing stream (or river), and then back again. Back and forth.
I start with a sturdy confidence, a vision, a sense of knowing. But for some reason I don't stay. Something pulls me to the gnawing doubt side until that becomes so uncomfortable, I leap back to the confident, softer mossier side and hang there for a while.
Why don't I just stay on the soft, green moss side?
