As is ever the case in
matters of personal well-being, the mind plays a pivotal role, that of hero or
villain.
One such villainous thought
known to take hold in the mind is self-doubt. Along with this,
a number of equally self-destructive correlative emotions are triggered, any or
all of which serve to reinforce our weakened sense of self-confidence: discomfort;
loss of composure; unworthiness; comparison with others.
Thoughts of self-doubt have
no place in the mind. At the very least, they are undeserving of consideration
and should be dispelled.
A change of attitude is
called for; one that confirms our own self-worth. Reason alone points the way:
in a state of absolute repose we consciously turn the mind to thoughts of self-love
and love of others. Ever-lurking negative thoughts are put to rout, our
self-respect renewed. And, not least, our innately God-given Goodness is
affirmed.
When all is said and done,
changing our outlook for the better is a matter of personal choice; that of a
blessing.
