Why Do We Self-Reject?

It's often easier to assume the worst than to face possible rejection. But here’s the truth: the only sure way to fail is not to try.

"Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking." — William Butler Yeats

Did you know that 85% of people admit to holding themselves back from opportunities due to self-doubt? Imagine the potential that remains untapped, simply because we don’t believe in ourselves.

Applying could lead to the dream job you never thought you’d get.

Publishing your thoughts might resonate with someone who needed to hear them exactly at this moment.

Turn 'What If' into 'Why Not?'

Not perfect? Good! Perfection is a myth—progress is real.

How Graphology Can Help You Overcome Self-Criticism

Have you ever considered how your handwriting might be revealing more about you than you think? Self-criticism is often the hidden force behind hesitation, and it manifests in more ways than one—including in your handwriting.

Graphology, the study of handwriting, can be a powerful tool in identifying self-critical tendencies. Traits like excessively small writing, overly controlled strokes, or letters with very tight spacing often suggest a person who is hard on themselves, prone to overthinking, and hesitant to take risks.

By becoming aware of these patterns, you can begin to address them:

1. Identify the Self-Critical Traits: Recognizing these traits in your handwriting is the first step. Are your letters tightly squeezed together? Is your writing small or cramped? These might be signs that you’re holding yourself back.

2. Challenge the Negative Thoughts: Once you’ve identified the signs of self-criticism, you can start challenging the negative thoughts that lead to self-rejection. Remind yourself that progress is more important than perfection.

3. Take Action Despite the Fear: Use your newfound self-awareness to push through the fear. Just because your handwriting reveals self-doubt doesn’t mean you have to be defined by it. Take that next step, whether it’s applying for a job, publishing your thoughts, or sending that email.

4. Embrace Progress Over Perfection: Focus on making progress rather than achieving perfection. Your handwriting can evolve with your mindset—loosening up, becoming more fluid, and reflecting a more confident, self-assured you.

What Opportunity Would You Grab Today if You Weren’t Holding Yourself Back?

Remember, the only shots you miss are the ones you don’t take. So, take a chance on yourself—because you’re worth it.
