Doubting Doubt

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt. ~ William Shakespeare

“Are you sure that's right?” A voice asked Pam.

“Well come to think of it, you might just be right.” Pam said nervously.

Pam had been working hard on a project for a while. The project meant the world to her. However, she always had that nagging feeling that things wouldn't turn out right. So much so that, she had decided twice already to give up on this project. Finally trying again, she had said to herself over and over again,”Third time lucky.”

Despite all that self talk, she realized that, she wasn't going to be able to do it.

Damn, I really thought I could have done it, but who am I kidding. Sighing, Pam wish she didn't always hear that voice telling her that she was wrong and going to fail.

Doubt, is the little voice that says to us that things aren't going to work, that we're not going to be able to make. In a sense, doubt is a bit like worry, fear, and self esteem issues all rolled into one, making a great cake of destruction.

With doubt, it eats away at someone, bit by bit. It's like acid, left alone untreated, it can horribly scar someone. However, as startling as that sounds, doubt can only exist, when it hasn't been proven that it is not so. 

With doubt, it will tend to be around if you believe in it.To prove doubt wrong, is to ask other people to remind you of your success and their complete, or if not, their somewhat trust of you. If you move forward, doubt can't say that you didn't. Doubt can only exist when there is no proof of you being able to do what it suggests. Disproving doubt, by doing smaller actions, only makes it crumble all the more. When you do the very thing that doubt has being saying that you couldn't do, that is when you checkmate it.

Doubt is the thing that will always linger until truth and experience triumph over it. Although we have all our fears and insecurities, we must keep saying no to them. If we give just a little bit, the hole will get bigger, and as the hole gets bigger, it will get harder to stop those seeds of doubt.

Doubt is a constant battle, but as we so learn to believe what we can do, and have a different perspective on reality, we will beat doubt. Doubt might suggest what is reality, however, we create reality by what we succeed in.

At the end of day we talk about seeds of doubt, some people have trees of doubt. Others, they have forest of doubts. And what do we do with forest of doubts? We cut them all down, and make books out of them about our success. Followed by that, we get in trouble with environmentalist.

 Nonetheless, doubt is never good, we may mistake it for caution or precaution, but it is not our friend, not now not ever.
