Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Trust Yourself

Fear the Walking Dead season 7

Doubt can cripple you. Don’t let it. 

You might think I’m contradicting myself here, but bear with me.

In my last entry, I said not to try to do things you can’t do, and I meant it. Alicia couldn’t lead her followers to PADRE because she, literally, didn’t know the way. I don’t want you to think you can do something that’s literally impossible. I want you not to convince yourself that you can’t do things that are perfectly possible.

Fear and doubt are extremely dangerous to your ability to survive a zombie apocalypse because they do just that: Convince you that you can’t do things that you’re perfectly capable of doing.

You need to trust yourself and your ability to do what you need to do in an apocalypse. If you let the specter of doubt creep into your mind, it can stop you dead in your tracks, making you believe that you’re incapable of functioning when, in actuality, the only thing stopping you is the belief that you can’t.

I have been immobilized by that kind of doubt, only being able to move after realizing how irrational and self-defeating that line of thinking was. The difference was, I didn’t have hundreds of zombies waiting to tear me limb-from-limb. In a zombie apocalypse, you may not get time to shake that off, so your best bet is to not let it into your mind in the first place.
