Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hey, guys, time and time and time and time and
time and time and time again. It's for motivation you,
motivation you. And this is a motivational minute here, a
motivation you, A motivational minute here on motivation you. Because
I found this quote and I wanted to get it
out there. I found this quote and I wanted to share.
I found this quote and I thought of you. I
thought of you. Here we go. Doubting yourself is normal.

(00:27):
Letting it stop you is a choice. I'll say it again.
Doubting yourself is normal. Letting it stop you is a choice.
Mel Robbins said that what's that mean? Guys? In this
thing called life, we're gonna face challenges and obstacles. When

(00:49):
you become trying to become stronger, try and become better.
When you face new challenges and obstacles, you're gonna have
moments of doubt, moments of doubt where you're questioning whether
you should go further or just stop. But if you
let those questions of doubt, those nagging questions of whether

(01:12):
you should or can dictate whether you go forward, that's
a choice. We all will face those moments of doubt.
I just got through facing a lot of moments of doubt.
I just did two productions on top of each other,
on top of each other. I had one already going,
I said yes to a second. So I was doing

(01:34):
dual practices on top of each other. And there were
a lot of times I sat in my car driving
home from rehearsal, going I shouldn't do this. I really
shouldn't do this. This is gonna be too hard, this
is gonna be too tough. I took on too much.
I'd come home to my wife. She's my sounding board,
she's my therapist, She's who I talked to, and I
told my wife, I don't think I should do this.

(01:56):
This is way too much. I've taken on too much.
I don't think I could do this. I don't think
I should do this. I think I'm gonna perform poorly.
I don't think I can get the job done. And
she pushed me forward. No, no, no, stay the path.
You got this, you got this. Just stay the path,
work hard, and stay the path. Sure enough, sure enough,

(02:18):
I didn't let those moments of doubt dictate and make
that choice for me. I pushed forward, and I was successful.
We're all gonna have those moments of doubt. I had
those when I was training for marathons, whether I should
or shouldn't, those nagging little voices in the back of
your head. Don't let those voices in the back of
your head dictate whether you should or shouldn't. Don't let

(02:43):
them decide for you to stop. We're all gonna have
those moments of doubt. Find out why we have those
moments of doubt. Strengthen up those weaknesses that those moments
of doubt are pointing out, and push forward and push forward.
Don't let those voices decide for you to stop. This

(03:06):
has been a motivation you, A motivational minute here, a
