Doubt

Doubt, unfortunately, has a way of defining our lives. Should I be earning more money? Is my job secure? Will my family stay together? Why haven't I found love? All important questions, but, they may not be the right ones to ask. The more meaningful questions, the ones that lead to permanent change may need to be asked more urgently and at a deeper level.

Questions at a deeper level offer a rare opportunity to see clearly to the heart of a deeply felt personal limitation. Identifying the origins of doubt can be tricky. But, if we are to evolve, it is an extremely important one. Most will experience several unexpected glimpses illuminating the very beginnings of a difficult issue. And some of these quick revelations, ironically, may not be as obvious as anticipated.

Specifically look out for moments that reveal the hidden power dynamic between important people in your life or, in some cases, the underlying ego needs of past friends, relatives or loved ones. Who does it benefit that I feel this way? Who feels stronger when I feel weak? These are the answers that will lead to meaningful change.

Patterns create patterns, which create patterns…Just like waves. The tricky part is identifying the right pattern - the one that encourages grace, empowerment and healthy expression - and riding it to safety. Don't let someone else's private agenda build an unworkable theme into your life. It just isn't worth it!
