Self-advancement is sabotaged by self-negation. Plain and simple. For every one step forward we take in our mind, we second guess ourselves, and backtrack to where we started. Advancement -- nowhere. Zilch.
I found this following quote in a Business Depot outlet -- and it gets at the same point and the same problem in a different manner.
'The block of granite which was an obstacle in the path of the weak, becomes a stepping stone in the path of the strong.' (Unknown author)
Here's to 'stepping stones' and to not turning back once we have determined the direction of our desired 'self-advancement' -- regardless of the 'obstacles' in front of us.
