The Dalai Lama. Meditation for every day (№ 455986)

If you are shackled by fears and unsure of yourself, if it seems to you that none of your undertakings will succeed, then stop for a minute and consider your condition. Try to understand why you imagine yourself a failure before you get down to business. You will not find any worthwhile reason. This difficulty originates in your way of thinking, not in the present state of affairs.
