 Doubt Is Merely A State OfMind

 

"That will never happen for me."

"There is no way I could do that."

"Impossible!"

 

"You attract to you the predominant thoughts that you're holding in your awareness, whether those thoughts are conscious or unconscious.  That's the rub," said Michael Bernard Beckwith. The Secret and the Law of Attraction say you get what you think about.

 

So when you are thinking thoughts of doubt, you are right - it will never happen for you.

 

And it doesn't.

 

There is plenty of doubt to go around.  You doubt your past, your future, and even your

present.  You doubt the opportunities and the possibilities that present to you everyday and you shove them away because you do not believe.  You don't have the faith in yourself and the Universe to attract what it is you want by believing that you can have it. 

 

Choose to think doubt = attract more doubt, and stagnation.

Choose to think certainty = attract that which you want, with momentum.

 

Doubt must be silenced if you are to attract what it is you want in your life.  "A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory," said Arthur Golden.  Doubt will kill your dreams, your confidence, and your victory.

 

I do not have the magic formula to banish doubt.  What I do know, though, is that you have the free will to choose your thoughts and your state of mind.  So choose certainty, without a doubt. 

 

 

 

 

  

"If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you won't;

If you think you'll lose, you've lost,

For out in the world you'll find

Success begins with a fellow's will -

It's all in the state of mind."

Unknown

 

"Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we might win, by fearing to attempt."

            William Shakespeare

 

"If doubt is challenging you and you do not act, doubts will grow.  Challenge the doubts with action and you will grow.  Doubt and action are incompatible."

            John Kanary    

 

"Whatever you believe with emotion becomes your reality.  You always act in a manner consistent with your innermost beliefs and convictions."

            Brian Tracy

 

 

  

We all have doubts and I am no exception.  There have been times when I have let doubt stop me cold.  After all, why would I try if I knew I would not succeed? That state of mind kept me running from challenges because of my doubtful attitude. That's not a great way to create momentum for your life.  It's easy to fall into that negativity trap so I make a conscious effort nowadays to make the connection between my thoughts and what the Universe is sending back to me. The Law of Attraction has empowered me to focus my thoughts on certainty.

 

If I ever doubted I could write a book, doubt no more.  Rings around the Collar is due to be shipped this week.  When I set out to write the book I had no clue what direction I would take, how it would get done, who I would interview, or what roadblocks I would encounter.   I just knew I was going to write this book.  It was uncharted territory for me and I could have let doubt stop me before I even started.  I followed the advice of John Kanary above - I challenged the doubts with action and began to put one page in front of the other.  The momentum continued and the book fell into place. Watch for the debut announcement very shortly. 

 

Have a fantastic week and think with certainty.
