For many years I believed that my doubt made we weak or stupid. For this reason, I attempted to come across as highly intelligent and I would insert myself into any conversation regardless of the fact that I had no idea what they were talking about.
I wanted so badly to feel confident that I would make shit up just so I could try to force confidence.
When I doubted my abilities in school, I would do the very minimum and try to make up for my feelings of failure through comedy.
When I doubted my relationships, I would try to make myself more pliable so the other person would be happy.
As I was reading this morning it was pointed out how my doubt is not a defect or an indication of lack. It is an opportunity for me to do a self-check and see the why behind my doubt.
What was I believing at that moment that created my doubt.
Now I practice responding to doubt with a pause, breathe, identify and change.
My doubt has become my opportunity for deeper understanding and growth.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of challenging your doubt.
There is much Love for you.
