A fact is something that is supported by data or other type of evidence. I’m not qualified to do this could be a fact, if you have never done the thing before.
However, often our fears are disguised as facts. Take I’m not good enough to do this, for example. Is there evidence to back up this statement or is it just a story you have been telling yourself because you have never done it before?
I’m not good enough is not a fact. It’s a fear.
When we learn to separate the fear from the fact, we get better at two things: 1) catching the times when we feed ourselves fears as facts and 2) distinguishing how and when to support ourselves. In other words, we learn to identify when we need to recruit others to help us get to where we want to be and when we need to trust ourselves rather than let fear rule and hold us back.
