We doubt even ourselves in some times.
The challenges of life ; the hardships of life ; the sorrow of life makes us not sure of what to do ? when to do ? and even how to do it ? How to live the days of our life more peacefully and more happily . We have learnt alot in schools and yet we doubt how to handle things . Are we capable of doing it ???
There were times that i didn’t know who i am nor who i want to be . Other times i didn’t find myself.
Can life be more simple ? Can we be more clear about what we want ?
In this post i can’t be more optimistic as i always try to be …. beacuse i even began to doubt if i am an optimistic person.
When we, humans began to doubt things around us -we are beginning to lose them . Just like how Benjamin Franklin said ” When in doubt , don’t”
And when we doubt our abilities we give the doubt the strenght to get into everything.
We doubt our actions, we doubts our friends, we doubts our family , we doubt the ability of love and then we end up doubting ourselves.
So don’t let that happen to you . And when you doubt just don’t .

It's perfectly human to have doubts. Actually, you wouldn't be human without them. You don't have to be optimistic when you don't feel like. Doubts represent a moment to stop and stare, a moment to reevaluate. If you feel it as a crisis, remember that crisis are opportunities to make significant changes :)

Not exactly to lose them, but mayhap to modify whatever needs improvement in your benefit.
And when we doubt our abilities we give the doubt the strenght to get into everything.
Or when you doubt your abilities you may improve them, so that you give your abilities the strength to get into those doubts.
We doubt our actions, we doubts our friends, we doubts our family , we doubt the ability of love and then we end up doubting ourselves.
So don’t let that happen to you . And when you doubt just don’t .
It will happen anyways at any given time. What really matters is what you'll do when it happens. You can let the doubts take over you, or you can take over them :)
All I have to say about is that to doubt is to be human, and you cannot deny that.

Doubts help us search for solutions. If we think we know everything, we stagnate. Unless we have a tendency to ‘awfulize’ everything and suffer the consequences, doubt in itself is not harmful.

Doubts crop up and it is natural that we doubt and that is the beginning of all science and technology.
Without doubt we would have in the stone age and it is of course that doubt has led us where we are now scientifically, technologically at the space age in fact.

I think the more you are intelligent the more you doubt .
Doubt is an inevitable step towards faith .
When we, humans began to doubt things around us -we are beginning to lose them
We loose them if they proove not to be trustworthy people , not because of the doubt itself .
In human relationships , doubt with no proof may destroy the relation .I think it is the result of insecurity. Yet in other things it is always relevant .

I highly agree with Veva, rangini, blaze and caddy. I see doubt as a stairway to eternity. A road that just happens unavoidably. Nothing can be done to evade doubts, so they just happen, but in relationships they should be grounded on proofs, as caddy suggested, because if they are not, you are destroying the relationship with no reason at all.

Max ! But crisis can can also mean destruction .... a moment where we collapse and not being able to stand again .

They can also be so depressing that they underestimate everything around us . Some people .. they don't see it as a challenege to improve their abilities but they take them as a sign that they can't change the fact and the wont improve .

i agree veva... but sometimes that increase & turns to be a disadvantage

yea ur right Rangini... it help us find solution but what is if we doubts our ability in finding things out.. we won't bother even searching ...

Blaze am speechless here.. this is a point against me . Because i surely agree that what helped scientist to discover is Doubt .. and not only doubt.. eager to discover.. curiosity

While you can stand, there's something you can do. Stand till your legs can't hold you any longer. When the latter happens there's nothing else to be done, so it will be the end of tour... but a good end.

That's relative to what people are made of.

doubt in its simplicity is a negative reaction to an innate behaviour. hence we feel when we go against those feelings we are taking a risk. the truth is, without doubt, we lose the ability to discern appropriate actions, we think that taking a particular road is the right choice (but have doubts - cause we've never done it that way before) but we either risk it, or play it safe. doubt opens up choices, it is, if you let it, the beginning of new ideas and thought processes. the problem is, people love a pity party, and instead of logically processing their emotions, they throw a massive emotional party, fireworks and all!!
ahh good ol benjamin franklin, 'when in doubt, don't', have to love the emotive. to me that is not a simple 'don't doubt', it is more of a 'don't let it box you in', don't let it be that fabled anchor that holds you behind. we all question at times our path in life, why these terrible things happen to seemingly good people, why day after day death is but a single breath away. that alone brings doubt to one's existence, but instead of it overwhelming us, the majority of people live out their lives without it suffocating them and keeping them from doing what they have always done.
so next time you doubt, stop, think and smile. you've been given an opportunity to assess what you've always done and whether or not you can now do it a better way. that is a fantastic opportunity, don't throw it away with self loathing, and a barage of non sensical emotive words.

Wonderful .. Simple words .. And tells.. .. About..human
All people doubted themselves ..same time
Large ..small .. .. .. rich..famous
Doubt Space large In the human brain
Maybe doubt
Gives a taste of beautiful
It maybe not
If Nothingness
Doubt
In the world
maybe live in peace
Doubt exists in Life him a taste of the last
The colors life have
thanks

Max ! People can stand as long as they don't lose the hope & faith in them . I use to be a HOPE , i use to never give up ... so bright and smiling.. but yet nothign i got and life has killed the dream i dreamt.. am awaiting an unkown destiny of illness.
Yet i guess i we have chioce but to go on .. and make another wish for another day ..and let doubts aside... this i may try.

Thanks Loki for your comment and words ... they change alot in the course of this doubt thing :)

Unknown destiny of illness? You mean you suffer a serious condition in your health? If it's the case, then I can understand why you have your doubts and I hope you recover soon. I wish I could help you more. Don't let life kill your dreams and remember that anything can happen at the least expected moment. I wish you good luck. Put one foot in front of the other, try to keep walking and remember: life takes its turns unexpectedly. Life's like a box of chocolate; you never know what you're gonna get... until you get it :wave:

Doubt is a part of an inquisitive mind. One needs to channel doubt in order to discover new things. It is healthy to doubt as long as one is prepared to put it to the test in order to ask and find.
I doubt many things that is because my instinct is telling me something is not right and so I follow it all the way and I am not usually wrong.
