The Danger of Doubt

Hey Ya'll,

Did you know that doubt has a nasty way of creeping into your life and polluting your mind and soul? It has a way of seeping into your pores and distorting your view of EVERY single thing within you until it manifests itself outwardly. My friends, doubt doesn't come in and immediately announce itself, no...it comes in and slowly causes major shifts that its victims are unprepared to face.

That dang on Doubt is destructive and full of molecules of negativity and I personally CANNOT STAND IT!!! You see I have a real disdain for anything that even remotely tries to zap the positivity out of mine or anyone else's life; and just so we are clear...I never concede to DOUBT. I will never surrender or yield to it and allow it to become some permanent fixture like a chandelier hanging from a ceiling. It is my hopes that like me, you also choose not to concede because I can tell you right now, doubt is more trouble than its worth. The degradation alone is dangerous, foolish, and vexatious. Ugh! Let me just paint this picture for a minute and remind all of us that this isn't like when we were kids and we'd go play in the mud and then run in the house and wash it off of us. No!! Doubt is more like a nasty infection that meticulously sets in on your insides and begins to invade your cells, infecting you with its poisonous venom. Sooner or later you begin to develop symptoms such as depression, emotional instability, procrastination, difficulty in making decisions, low self-esteem, or even a feeling of loss of control over your life. WHOA! Did you just notice how weighty those symptoms can be and it all stemmed from that nasty "D" word again. 

I am telling anyone and everyone who will listen, please kick doubt out if you have been living with it and if it hasn't moved in yet, please put up a roadblock sign and send it in another direction. Beloved, listen to me, I have been infected with it before and it was so difficult to get rid of....See I couldn't just take a mental antibiotic and clear it up, mine was a septic case; instead I had to have a figurative and spiritual surgery to make me whole. The roots were so deep that some days I had no idea if recovery were even remotely possible, yet something inside of me kept fighting. The fight was to break free of what was choking the life out of me and keeping me from reaching my dreams. The fight was my determination to be MORE than everything Doubt constantly told me that I could never be, it was to show "It" that I am destined for greater. 

Today, I am choosing to stand in solidarity with you that if and when you are ready to make the decision to get rid of Doubt, I will fight with you. I will help you do the difficult thing and break free from the nasty infection that only comes to destroy your life or worse, kill you. Listen to me, Doubt has never come into anyone's life and been nice or kind and its definitely never pretty! Please do not try to befriend it or keep it as a pet on a leash, instead, tackle it to the ground and take control over it. Regardless of the lies that it has fed you, you are not at all obligated to stay in relationship with doubt because it doesn't care about your future or even your present. This beast will always be self-seeking and its only objective is to defeat you; do something difficult and different and DO NOT CONCEDE to Doubt!!Not NOW Not EVER!

Finding your Fighter,
