Days of self doubt / #Kaizenmantra

As someone with a non-technology degree and working in #tech, I have my share of #SelfDoubt and #ImpostorSyndrome days.

For those of you who have these too, here is a little thought from me. Happy New Year! May our 2020 be filled with acknowledging our doubts and overcoming them.

***Days of self doubt / #KaizenMantra***

I have days of self doubt,

Is worthlessness all that I am about?

Would I ever amount to something,

Or just dissipate one evening?

How can I not be a procrastinator,

Become a live-wire, a go-getter!

How and what can I do better,

And work on stuff that does matter.

Fame, power, lust, gluttony and greed,

They afflict me, but they ain’t my creed.

Before my picture ends up on a shelf,

How can I be more than myself?

On those days of self doubts,

Repeat this Mantra out loud,

To be a better version of me,

Isn’t that what life is supposed to be!

Smile at the naysayers, if you can,

Breath and count from one to ten,

Walk away if you have to,

But stay true to the work you do!

One day a few breaths from the last,

When you reflect on the past,

None of the cynics would make the cut,

Life is too short to be stuck in the Rut!

To be a better version of me,

Isn’t that what life is supposed to be!

To be a better version of me,

Isn’t that…..
