Overcoming doubts in your mind

Doubts can quickly swallow a person's new found belief and faith. When doubt sets into his mind, the defence to fight against this enemy will determination how strong this person is mentally. If he is strong and has such impregnable faith, he will be fine but if the belief is weak in foundation, a shaky ground will allow doubt to devour the building in a short while and this may result in serious consequences.

Our mind starts racing and starts drawing conclusions and ideas from anywhere and everywhere. The majority of the time we have no idea if there is even validity in our thoughts, but we keep letting them work in our minds anyway. For example, many people doubt about Marie Callas' ability as a clairvoyant and whether she is able to promise what she has said.

To overcome doubt, first, we need to set our mind on hope. Hope is a feeling of what is wanted will happen, a desire accompanied by expectation, or to want. Once hopeful thoughts begin to enter our minds, anything can happen. Our perceptions and attitudes begin to change and we start to see the world, our selves, our friends, and our family differently. We are no longer confused and unfocused by thoughts of “What if” or doubt, but thoughts of possibility.

Lastly, moving from doubt to hope involves a change of mindset. This may mean that old habits need to be stopped or that a new habit needs to be implemented. What mindsets do you need to change? How can you begin to harvest hope instead of doubt? Having a mind of abundant hope is intoxicating. Begin to live this way today!
