No room for doubt.
June 5, 2007
There is only one way to say this I guess, and we start by talking about fear. Fear is an illusion. It is a boundary created by your mind to allow for weakness, and help you get some attention. Which is ultimately what we all want. Doubt opens up a direct pathway to fear, whether it be your own self-doubt, or someone else doubting you (which leads you to doubt yourself anyway.) ultimately the result is the same. Fear. Fear of losing whatever you think is so precious, when really, you never have anything to lose. Doubt is directly tied in to confidence, I, for one, would like to think that I have complete confidence in what I do and how I do it, if I don’t completely have it, then my work suffers, my life suffers, and I am not happy. So confidence, whether it be well deserved or not, is a solid key in my personality. At one point I thought having a huge ego was a bad thing, well, guess what, ego is what we strive for, ego is confidence and self determination. So I make ego a part of my life, because it helps me create better work and have respect for my efforts. It is my reward to myself.
Anyway, so I don’t like doubt, its a pathetic concept which can only yield negative results. People like to live their lives thinking they don’t have a choice, I used to think that way, all the time, everyday, and I became very depressed, because I was sent off to a school where I didn’t have a choice, and where it was never my choice to be at. Realizing this, I became completely obsessed with always having a choice. Now, choice can be tricky, but what helps is having the right goals in mind, the right attitude, a positive outlook, I can’t make a choice about my life thinking its going to be a negative thing, I cannot DOUBT my choices. They are the only thing that makes me understand how much I have accomplished, and how much I can accomplish still. My beliefs are also directly linked to doubt, because I cannot doubt my believes, otherwise I fall apart. It has taken me a long time to develop my way of life, my beliefs, my own reality. And it works for me. I don’t appreciate people doubting my beliefs… so my message for all of the 2.4 readers of this blog, and I guess for myself as well is, do not invite doubt into your life, have a positive perception of your decisions, because you always have a choice, and it will always be the right choice if you back it up with some heart.
