The only skeptic that matters is the one inside your head.
The others; the ones saying “don’t do it” or “a gal like you can’t do a job like this” or “you’re not qualified” – proving them does nothing because they don’t care. Prove them wrong and they’re onto the next person to skepticize.
But yourself on the other hand; that voice inside your head – that skeptic matters, that skeptic is worth proving wrong (or, how I prefer to frame it “prove yourself right”.) That skeptic matters because once you’ve proved yourself right, they catch on and the skeptical voice dies down.
Pave the way for doing meaningful work by shutting the only skeptic up that matters.
Stay Positive & Show Who Is Right
