Do you ever have those moments where you just don't believe what you hear? Or you just don't agree with something that you are told is the truth. I think that is a pretty common thing. Doubt is very powerful in my opinion. If you doubt what you know to be the truth, it can have a negative effect on you.
Let's try to look at things a little differently. Can doubt make you stronger? I know that when I hear the word doubt, negativity flows into my thoughts almost instantly. But after pondering it for a little while, I realized that doubting can turn out positive.
I'm sure that if you have had a bad experience like a death or other tragic experience in your life it has caused you to question, "Why would this happen to me?" That is the perfect example of doubt. Well I have learned from experience that when you doubt, it causes you to think. When you start to think about something that interests you, you begin to research it. When you research it you may find out that if you look at it in a different way it makes more sense and you understand it better.
I think it kind of goes hand it hand with optimism. If you have a positive outlook on doubt, it can have a positive outcome and if you have a negative outlook, it can have a negative outcome.
So, I'll leave you with this, next time you are doubting something, just think of how it can make you a better, stronger, more likable person rather than letting the negative thoughts over power you.
Good message. I'd just like to point out a few things though(haha). . .
ReplyDelete1) This just may be your first post that doesn't say anything about religion.
and 2) In that picture, "your" should be "you're"?
Well when I was writing it I was thinking about religion but decided to not directly mention it... You know, give people a break.
ReplyDeleteAnd second, I didn't make the picture I borrowed it. Thanks for pointing that out though!
