What Will Happen If You Start Doubting Your Doubts?
Let's analyze a simple scenario which goes on in everyone's mind almost nonstop; as a normal and average human being I ALWAYS want something which I currently don't have.
So I think about it; I think about the fact that it's not in my life, that I'd love to have it, maybe what to do to get it, maybe how unfair it is that someone else has it, and so on, and on, and on...
Now, if this desire is very strong and important to me, I'll be thinking about it often, and will attach strong emotions to it.
And this is the most paramount point in our thinking, which makes all the difference between the ones who will get what they want, and the ones who will be disappointed... again. Just like in the quote from New Testament: "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath" (Matthew 13:12).
I couldn't make any sense out of it for a long time. It contradicted everything I thought, Jesus was teaching.
You know, it was like an unsolved and wrong ingredient in the whole concept of Christianity, and the more I wanted to ignore it, the more vividly I remembered it.
And then I came across so much literature on the Law of Attraction, and I understood; everything became obvious and simple.
So what our thinking has to do with having our dreams and desires materialize in our reality? What is the difference which will either make it happen or not?
Our doubts make the difference. Our expectations make the difference. Our emotions attached to the doubts or the expectations make the difference.
If I have too many doubts about attaining a goal; if my fears take over to the degree, that I don't believe in a good outcome at all; if I run a bad scenario in my head with enough pessimistic conviction (emotions) attached to it; what I will achieve will be a complete opposite to what I wanted, but a perfect manifestation of what I thought about the most.
That's the Law of Attraction at work!
I can't change the way it works, but I can decide to make it work for me instead of 'against' me. I can consciously decide to consciously make my dreams come true.
Instead of doubting that it will ever happen and 'seeing' the undesirable outcomes in my mind, I can start doubting my doubts. What, if that's all it takes?
It is human to have doubts, it is human to have expectations, and it is human to feel emotions.
It does take some mental effort to monitor and control your thoughts. But tomorrow it'll be easier than today, and after few days of conscious monitoring, you'll be able to catch most of your negative thoughts straight away. Once you recognize them, you'll be able to consciously decide to doubt them. It will become easier with time, one day it may become a habit.
Just imagine; a habit of positive thinking and optimistic expectations! Scary... Life may become your oyster!
The truth is that it doesn't cost us money to think about something. The same amount of time goes into negative as in positive thinking, only the emotions and final outcomes are different.
The truth is that somehow we're more inclined to except the bad as normal, and good as a miracle. And it is a miracle, if it happens in spite of our negative and pessimistic attitudes.
If you're good at doubting, if your imagination is developed enough to run all kinds of different horrible scenarios with the most unbelievable outcomes, turn it around and make it work for you. In the end you're the one paying with the consequences, so make sure you're getting what you want for the time you've invested in thinking about it.
