Why You Should ‘Walk Through’ Your Doubts

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

If you want to get to the other side, you must develop the courage to ‘walk through’ your doubts.

In the words of Tom Oliver, ‘If you have self-doubts, you can’t deny them; that won’t work. It will only impede your energy. Instead, objectify them. This will enable you to live through the unpleasant feelings without denying them or giving them more room than they deserve.’

You can handle your doubts. They are there. To set yourself free, don’t try to pretend that they are not there. If you do that, they will never leave you alone.

Self-doubts are there. And they always will be there. If you want to chase your dreams, don’t dismiss them. Because they are not going anywhere.

‘Remind yourself that some of life’s greatest breakthroughs happen precisely after the moments of deepest doubt, despair, or depression- you have to walk through the valley of the shadow of doubt to get to the other side.’

It is okay to doubt yourself, especially when you are in a place that is new to you. But do not let it stop you from living your dreams.

Instead of giving up on yourself, why not ‘walk through’ your self-doubts?

We are here to face our hurdles, not to run away from them. In life, there are many hurdles, there are many problems. You are not going anywhere if you do not comfront them. You are not going anywhere if you do not have the courage to face them. If you want them to go away, you must do something about them.

“A person who’s happy will make others happy.”- Anne Frank

Whatever you are going through in your life, remember, nothing is going to be here forever. Plants are not going to be here forever. Human beings are not going to be here forever. Animals are not going to be here forever. Nothing.

Nothing is going to last forever, not even your problems, not even your fears, not even your doubts, not even your mistakes, not even your failures. So whatever you are going through in your life, it will come to pass. It is not going to be here forever.

“A person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.”- Anne Frank

Be patient with yourself. Instead of comparing yourself to others, why not focus on what is going well for you. If you look within, you will find yourself again.

There is always something left to celebrate, to appreciate, to love, and to embrace. Remember that you live within you. So if you want to find yourself again, you must look within you. According to Anne Frank, “I’ve found that there is always some beauty left- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. A person who’s happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.” If you have courage, you will live. You will never die in misery.
