In one form, doubt can be very destructive. By its very nature, it seems to carry a negative vibe to the circumstances where doubt may exist.
However, put in proper perspective and used appropriately doubts can be a good thing.
A recent great example for me is the story behind a documentary series on Netflix called, Making a Murderer. It is a horrendous story of murder and mayhem and the failures in the criminal justice system. Doubt exists at almost every level of the 10 episodes of the story.
The doubt is so pervasive you are even left with doubt when the final episode ends!
It shows the effect of doubt at its worst! The series is worth a “binge” if you are so inclined.
On another level doubt can serve as a driver for creating clarity and ultimately certainty. What follows are some thoughts on how to use doubt to derive a positive outcome.
No doubt…you will benefit by reading them!
You could take the title of this post as having to do with the biblical story about the Apostle Thomas. The reference to “Doubting Thomas” is not religious but by definition practical. Let’s talk about why.
One definition of Doubting Thomas is a person who is skeptical and refuses to believe something without proof.
In that regard, I'm focusing on how you can use doubt as a positive factor rather than a negative one.
Here's one possibility related to doubt.
It forces you to ask questions about whatever is the focus of your doubt. Answering appropriate questions can improve your options and drive greater success.
By asking questions concerning your doubts, it sharpens your focus. Answering those questions can give you a degree of resolve driven by your clear focus that otherwise wouldn't exist. In other words, overcoming your doubts is a source of clarity that can motivate you to move forward.
Finally, having doubts forces you to look at the opportunity differently. You may arrive at options you wouldn't have otherwise considered. As suggested, those additional options could give you a much smoother road to success.
Don't doubt and stop! Having doubts and overcoming them broadens your thinking and ultimately creates certainty.
Never doubt that!
So, how will you overcome your doubts about some important situation in your life? Why would you want to overcome those doubts?
