Do you have Doubts

One of our biggest causes in not progressing is due to the doubts that surface while we are trying to achieve that goal or task. So I ask you, why doubts creep in to our minds and start chiseling away as we try to accomplish these new goals and tasks. Mostly it occurs when you miss a deadline, have a little setback, the task is a little difficult and you don’t know where to start, or you lack the discipline to focus long enough to produce a result.

Doubt comes from not believing you are able to do something. This is completely different from simply not knowing how to do something. You need to look at the problem from a position of uncertainty. By simply not knowing something allows you to believe that it may be possible.You need to look at each setback from a perspective of uncertainty - “Gee that did not work what I can try now”, instead of doubt “I just knew it wouldn’t work, it’s just so hard"

Can you see the difference, once you shift from doubt to uncertainty what you are telling yourself is "I really do not know if it could or could not happen" and you are now in a position to believe it is actually possible.

How will shifting from doubt to uncertainty assist you? Well firstly it will open you up to use the right side of your brain, you know the creative side. With doubt as you already know the answer ("I knew that wouldn’t work") you close off any possibility in finding a solution. With the creative side you are telling yourself a question ("How can I make it work") and the right brain stands to attention instantly and goes straight to work in helping you create a solution. The real benefit comes when you understand that once you make the shift from doubt to uncertainty and ask that first question, that you ask another question and then another, and so on. Eventually insight will be on that next train.

Just remember that when we stop wanting the things we are trying to attain, the doubt clouds begin to circle above us. That zeal, passion and focus we had, can be cut of like someone had pulled a curtain over your eyes. Now you can not see what it was that you were striving for. The next time you face a challenging situation you can prevent doubt by acknowledging that you are unsure and are willing to explore all possibilities.

Remember whatever the problem is, if you express what you actually want you will connect with the inner beliefs you have. You are able to focus on what you want rather than what you don’t (doubt, to hard, impossible ECT…..)
