Banish your doubts!

Most of us spend a great deal of energy every day of our lives doubting our abilities – to our great detriment. We doubt ourselves at practically every turn; we doubt our abilities to write well, speak to a group, come up with a new idea or solution, overcome an obstacle, market a product or service, or negotiate with a difficult person. 

Many times, we question our self-worth, how much we deserve to be paid, or how valuable or talented we are to an organization. We doubt our ability to overcome rejection, start over, or confront a challenge.

Banish doubt from your life – all of it. This doesn’t mean you should start doing foolish things or making childish decisions. It means you should start trusting in yourself. True obstacle lies within the doubt itself – and all doubt lies within your own thoughts.

It’s silly to hold on to any doubt in your life. It does no good. All doubt is a waste of energy and interferes with your natural ability to do things. Whatever doubts are lingering in your mind, let them go. 
Srila Prabhupada's Quote

Krishna has given some the opportunity to serve Him by nice writing, some by good business ability, 
some by nice cooking, and so on, but these various services are all accepted equally by Krishna. 
On the transcendental plane, one service is as good as another. There is no question of higher or lower. 
We are very tiny, and so we cannot really do very much. 
Simply we can engage our time and energy, and that is all Krishna sees. 
He sees this boy or girl is spending his time in My Service, and He is pleased.
