Do I have what it takes?
I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that.
Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business.
This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it"
Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it."
Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment for him while he's figuring out who he is without the fancy Spiderman suit Tony had given him.. He eventually stands up, and goes on his way to fight. He figured it out.
He had what it took even though he didn't feel like he did.
We all have the weight of our own world on us at times, and sometimes when it's beating you down.. you may question and ask yourself.. do I have what it takes to get through this moment in time. Whether it's paying your rent, getting to your next destination, taking care of a screaming child, or just getting out of bed in the morning, watch that Spiderman scene, and tell yourself that you have what it takes.
There are moments in life when you won't feel strong enough.. hell.. that's half the reason I'm rambling about this right now. I don't feel like I have what it takes to go through what I'm going through. Right now and many times over the past couple weeks I've told myself that I'm nothing without....... (fill in the blank) but then I saw that movie again and it jogged my memory to every time in the past I've felt this way.
You can find a way. Take some big, deep breaths (no matter how painful they are) and take that step, push a little harder, stand back up again, fake a smile, or just keep moving. Whatever it takes, we are humans and humans get back up, we fail and we keep going, but the coolest part is.. we have what it takes to be who we want to be.. we just have to stop selling ourselves short. We don't need the figurative fancy spider suit.. we just need to believe in ourselves.
I need to believe in myself.
