Self Doubts

[ikyrian]

Tomorrow I officially move into the HR office to start my new life as the HR Assistant. I'm kind of nervous, just a teensy bit scared that I don't have what it takes to be good at this job, but I know that's just my old insecurities and paranoia. Intellectually I know that. But in my heart, where I've always thought that I am just not good enough for anything...there I haven't convinced myself yet. For some people this fear drives them to excel, to be better than everything else, to prove that they can do it. It curses me to be mediocre, however, which explains much of my college years.

But you won't know if you can swim until you get into the water.

You can swim. Real swimmers don't care how deep the water is, because they'll be floating on the top. :) Congrats on your new job!

Well, they've spent all this time with you so far. If they weren't pleased with your progress, I think they would have shown you the door a long time ago. So even if you're not convinced, you convinced them already... and that's reassuring. :)
