Have you ever lost due to a sudden blow to your self-confidence?
No matter what area of life – did you ever start succeeding in something only to fall short because you either started doubting in your ability to keep on being great, or perhaps someone “clipped your wings” as you were taking off?
I can think of a few cases when the perspective of success I was bound to achieve made me crash and burn, and at least one time when one sentence from a ‘nobody’ completely shattered my self confidence, and blasted me out of “the zone” I just entered…
Did you ever experience something like this? What’s the logic behind this?
