Godzilla stands 400 feet tall. His skin is bullet-proof, bomb-proof, everything-proof. He can swim at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. When he gets pissed off he shoots an atomic laser-beam out of his mouth that's hotter than the surface of the sun. And, in the rare instance that something manages to destroy Godzilla, he can regenerate himself from a cluster of cells.

Self-doubt is like Godzilla. It's impossible to kill. All we can do is keep it at bay. We get ourselves in trouble when we assume we can vanquish self-doubt; when we assume we will wake up one day and it will no longer be there, breathing down our neck. We're far better off accepting the fact that self-doubt will always be lurking beneath the surface of our mind, waiting to attack.

Courage isn't the absence of self-doubt. Courage is action despite self-doubt.
