Oh those nasty little doubts. They are the dream killers for sure! It doesn’t matter how much you want something in your life, if there are doubts clouding what you desire, it will not come to you. It can actually destroy all that you desire. It can devastate a relationship. It can tear down a dream. And it will prevent the Universe from bringing to you what you want.
You see, even if you have a very strong desire, but you also have a lot of doubt that you can have it, it will not manifest. If you have a strong desire and a little doubt, it will eventually manifest, but it will take a long time. The magic begins when you have a strong desire and very little or no doubt. That is when you will see your desires manifest.
So what is doubt? Doubt is the exact polar opposite of confidence and faith. Doubts are usually followed by a very limiting belief. For example, I have many coaching clients who say that they want to meet the man or woman of their dreams. They really have a very strong desire to have someone in their life. But why don’t they have their ideal partner in their life? Their doubt is the reason! They think that they are too old, too fat, too poor, or too mediocre, and the list goes on and on. Or, they feel they are not good enough to attract someone like the person they desire to have in their life. They feel that it can’t possibly happen to them even though it happens for others. You see, it is your false beliefs that are creating this doubt.
I always tell my clients: you only need one. With all the billions of people that are on the planet, you don’t think that the Universe has one person that would fit the description that you are looking for? Or, I have some clients looking for an ideal job, but in their perception there are not a lot of opportunities out there. I will tell you the same thing I tell them: YOU ONLY NEED ONE!!!
I have seen in my own relationships that when I started to have doubt about the way my partner felt about me or how committed he was to me, the relationship started to fall apart. We started to fight. We started to feel insecure. And it killed my marriage. It almost destroyed my current relationship. When the doubt goes away, so do the major problems.
The good news is: just like thoughts, doubts can be changed. Doubts are based on false beliefs. And what is a belief? A belief is a thought that has been thought over and over again until it became a belief. Think about it. . . “There are no good men/women out there.” Is that reality? NO! “All the good men/women have been taken.” Is that reality? NO! Rationalize with your thoughts and limiting beliefs and you will see they are not based in reality, especially in a Universe where everything is possible and nothing is impossible. The only things that are impossible are the limited beliefs and thoughts that we tell ourselves.
Doubt Playsheet:
- Make a list of the desires that you have. Ask yourself for each of those desires, “Do I have any doubt they will manifest?”
- Ask yourself, “Are these beliefs real or is it just my perceptions and limiting beliefs?” Start to change the thoughts that are attached to those beliefs.
- Tell yourself, “The things that I think are impossible I now change to I’m possible.”
- Develop more empowering beliefs that will help you release your doubts. Remember, your power is always in the now!!
