Daily Mystic Messages - Doubtable
We’ve all failed and fallen short at times. We’ve all broken promises to ourselves and probably to others too. Living inside ourselves, we’ve seen our very worst. Things we’ve hidden away or tried to forget even.
So it’s no wonder that self-doubt plays a role in our lives.
Whether it’s doubting…
- a goal we’ve set.
- that we’ll follow through
- that we’ll be able to stick with a new commitment.
- that we have the talent to be successful.
- that we’ll be able to handle whatever comes our way.
- that we’ll be able to figure things out.
Doubt can be pervasive. Every time we stretch ourselves beyond our comfort zone we’ll likely run into some kind of doubt. As we stretch into the unknown, uncertainty and doubt are there to keep us safe, and prevent us from getting our hopes too high and risking disappointment.
Something I’ve found very interesting is tendency we have to doubt the good. It’s as if it’s easier, or or safer somehow to doubt the idea that things could be better than we imagined, or that things could work out wonderfully, and favor the idea that things won’t work out, or that sooner or later, the other shoe is going to drop.
The certainty we have that things won’t work out is truly extraordinary. And you have to wonder, “what if we were to turn that certainty on it’s head?"
What if, instead of doubting our potential, we doubted our limitations?
Or instead of doubting that things can work out, and keep working out, we doubted our patterns of self-sabotage?
How about doubting the story we’ve bought into about our flaws and shortcomings rather than the idea that we’re divinely designed and innately perfect?
If you want some evidence to back this up, just look at nature. The amazing evolution of the world we live in, and the flawless expression of natural laws. Miracles upon miracles. YOU are part of nature.
The next time you start to get sucked into self-doubt, why not doubt the doubter?
