Subtle Self-Sabotage: Calling Out Your Greatness

In the pursuit of our goals and dreams, we often encounter a formidable adversary lurking within ourselves: self-sabotage.

In its most subtle, sneaky form, self-sabotage will have us downplaying our gifts, undermining our own worth, and holding ourselves back from reaching our full potential. We may find ourselves discounting our abilities, dismissing our accomplishments, and avoiding opportunities that could propel us forward. It takes and it takes, it keeps us stuck and essentially is just a ‘death by paper cuts’, if you will. 

But why do we engage in such self-sabotaging behavior?

Naturally, it’s often rooted in fear and self-doubt, as we hesitate to step into our greatness and embrace the full extent of our talents. We may downplay our gifts because they come with ease and therefore feel insignificant… or because we fear judgment, rejection, or failure.

To break free from the clutches of self-sabotage, we must be willing to journey inward—find a deep self-awareness, challenge our limiting beliefs, and take intentional steps toward self-empowerment. You can start by acknowledging and celebrating your achievements (you have my permission to brag about yourself, even if it’s just to yourself). No matter how small the thing is… even if you only brought the dinner rolls, embrace the value you’ve brought to the table!

| Xavier Dagba: “One of the most subtle forms of self-sabotage is downplaying your gifts or taking them for granted just because they feel natural or come easy to you.”
