SELF DOUBT
SELF DOUBT
Self-doubt is one of the most limiting things a person can experience in this life. It can keep
you locked away in a prison of your insecurities.
It will suffocate your ability to
explore and be free to engage with opportunities and adventures, and it will
hold you back from ever achieving the things that you really want.
I have personally met people who
even gave up on wanting anything at all due to having such a high level of
self-doubt.
Their insecurities had escalated to
such a point over the course of their life that they eventually gave up on
even considering that they had any level of freedom at all regarding their own
choices.
This is a terrible place to find
ourselves in, and it causes a person to live a life that has been massively
limited by the illusory constructs that have formed in their mind.
Fortunately, though, with a little
work and the right amount of determination, there is something that we can do to
conquer this.
Dominating Doubt
Doubt itself, by its very nature, is
negative. It is something that denounces and turns down any thoughts of
positive or action-inspiring suggestions.
If left unchecked, doubt becomes a
mindset that keeps a person completely closed off from the world of positive
inspiration, and it keeps a person confined to a self-centred and destructive
ego.
To dominate doubt, we must
first desire to do so.
If we do not have the desire to at
least investigate the ability to overcome doubt, then there is truly no hope
for us.
A person who is happy to live in a
world of doubt is like a cancer that will infect and overcome anyone who has
even a shred of positivity to express, like a black hole, they consume all
light, and there is no hope of it ever being re-produced in return.
Someone who has decided to overcome
doubt though is like a black hole that has decided to try to stop sucking in
everything and instead has chosen to learn how to produce and create a little
light.
Without having made the choice to
do this, without having personally decided that they want to become more
positive, more inspiring and more encouraging, a person has no hope of ever
conquering their own self-doubt.
The Argument Of Doubt
The main argument that people offer
to encourage their own self-doubt is that they have either never been able to,
or never witnessed something happen.
For example, if you try to
encourage a person to become a confident public speaker and they harbour massive
amounts of internal self-doubt, they will argue that they have never been able
to speak confidently in public before and so they just think that, from their
own point of view, it cannot be done.
Another person who doubts the
ability of someone to come up with some kind of new and enlightening invention
doubts it because he has never seen it done before and therefore thinks it
simply cannot be
done.
In all cases of self-doubt, a
person is living with a mindset that has experienced great limitation somewhere
in the past.
Therefore, when we know this, we
can implement strategies to conquer and eventually destroy these specific
doubts. How do we do this?
Creationism
No not the kind of creationism that
claims the world was created in 6 days and that all life on earth is somewhere
in the region of 6,000 years old, do not even get me started on that! What I am
talking about is a form of creationism that is completely and intimately
personal.
It is inspirational, encouraging,
motivating, it is creating and producing and freeing. It is everything that
self-doubt is not.
This works for all kinds of
self-doubt and insecurity because it has the effect of contradicting and
opposing every form that self-doubt or insecurity takes.
We intimately prove the
self-doubting limitation wrong, and eventually the mind learns a newer and more
positive way of thinking about things, because it has witnessed firsthand the
undoing of every single one of its limiting, doubting thoughts.
To do this, we must either
show or create a case for the opposite. We need proof. Show yourself the
opposite of your own self-doubt.
Investigate and encourage yourself
to try your very best to achieve, or to witness or experience the very thing
that your mind doubts.
Commit yourself to the challenge of
proving every single one of your doubts wrong, and if you can do this, you will
slowly reprogram your mind to be able to achieve anything that you could
possibly want to achieve.
Conquer the limitations of your
doubts, and you become a purely positive, inspirational, creative force of life
on this planet.
Sit with your doubting mind, however, and you will begin to fester in a world of negativity, opposition, and
argument for all things limiting. I know which path I would rather choose.
Now the choice is up to you
