Doubt is not the opposite of faith

Day 7 of my 100 Days Of Sharing, and doubt starts to creep in.

Shouldn’t I invest my time—my precious time—in more important things than posting my sharings here?

Self-doubt. I was wondering when it would show up.

In my experience, whenever a big opportunity arises, self-doubt shows up as well.

I remind myself that doubt is not the enemy. After all, doubting my own fears, doubting my limiting beliefs, doubting conventional thinking, all helped me to grow.

“Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith,” a wise man once said.

What he meant, I believe, was that one cannot know the strength of his or her own faith until it has been tested.

And today, day 7, is my test day.
93 days to go.

So I think of my Why. Why do I do this? I remind myself that I am doing this for growth. Sharing is giving, and I can learn from this. I was born to share and contribute and communicate. I let go of the outcome and recommit to sharing myself from a very authentic place without editing.

It feels good to recommit. I thank self-doubt for the visit, pick a fitting photo, press enter, and let go.
