All of us without exception have our moments of doubt. We all experience those times when we question our self-worth, our talents, and yes, even our God. No man can be so sure of himself that he can remain immune to worrying doubt throughout his lifetime. Every woman even the strongest, is confronted with fearful doubts about herself sooner or later.
Usually, doubts creep into our inner-selves when unfortunate and unpleasant incidents happen which cause devastating blows to our self-confidence and upset us. When we seem no longer in control of the situation, we become doubtful and doubt gives rise to confusion; and confusion gives birth to fear. Fear of the unfamiliar and the unknown.
There are countless similar circumstances that all cause us to doubt and fear for our inner security and physical well-being. You look at sad situations, then they boil down to one common denominator: Loss of faith in one’s self and the loss of faith in the power that guides our destinies in a loving and sure way.
It is truly amazing how quickly so many of us sink into the sands of near despair even if, during most of our lives we have been blessed countless times. How quickly we forget the good things that happened to us. How short is our memory for uncountable blessings we have received. How easily do we fall into negative thinking.
The truth is that we all have countless reasons to look at life with a smile - even when things do not go our way. The gift of life is one that is renewed every day. We have all - without exceptions - been blessed with at least some worthwhile talents that cannot be taken away from us in times of crisis. We can take consolation in the fact that we are never useless or completely helpless. We all possess inner power and strength which are more than enough to carry us through the most painful experiences. What we need to do is make use of these positive attributes. The rest will follow and things will happen to make the sun shine once again.
