Daily Mystic Messages - One thing you can do without
Today I want to talk about one thing that you can definitely do without, and that is doubt.
Doubt is the crack in the door that leads to some places where we'd probably rather not be. What happens when we start to get into doubt and when we start to buy into that conversation in our own mind or whittle away at our self-confidence?
It escalates into worry. Worry starts to spin up and then we start to get into anxiety and the anxiety builds up and sooner or later, we'll be gripped by fear and fear is that stopping point. It's the place where we grip and hold. It's a place where we start fighting for our lives and it's a very stressful place to be.
It takes the joy out of life. It takes us away from our true selves and from our true faith and it prevents us from moving forward towards our greater potential, towards a greater sense of love and joy within ourselves and truly into our fullest expression of who and what we are.
It really does go back to that little doubtful thought that we give voice to, and then start to buy into and agree with. I know it might seem a little extreme to say “just leave it out”, just leave the doubt aside, but you can actually live a really wonderful life without that.
You might have some resistance around that says, “You know, doubt is something that keeps me safe. It's something that prevents me from making mistakes. It helps me to dive deeper, or ask deeper questions”.
And certainly, those things are true, but you can also ask those from a place of inquiry and curiosity and not from doubt.
You can actually leave that voice of doubt aside and just be in curiosity because doubt is the opposite of faith and faith is something that we certainly surrender to our areas of darkness and the areas of ignorance that we just don't know the things. It also has that ever-increasing curiosity about finding the truth or the higher truths and finding a fuller expression.
You actually can have a true sense of faith and be really curious to continue exploring. That's how you can be without doubt.
The first thing is to become acutely attuned to that voice of doubt in your head so that every time it comes up, you can choose something different. And the best that I keep coming back to for this one is that hand on the heart. When we start to get into that doubtful place, it's the hand on the heart and saying that mantra, “I am exactly where I need to be, I've got this” because you do...
You've totally got this.
