The Awareness Of Doubt

Listen to "The Awareness Of Doubt" on Spreaker. We all face doubt. It can last a week, month or become a season in length. Be it a diet, career decision, lack of love or you've challenged yourself to take up fasting. Days of doubt cloud the picture of light. Within these challenges our circles of friends and family always come up with the easy way out, "Everything's going to be fine. Pick yourself up and think positive." My own Pastor recently shared his journey through a moment of doubt. Instantly I began to pay attention. He gave me permission to feel the same. Men and women of God are supposed to have feelings! During their bouts with doubt it becomes a choice to listen to it or find a respectful leader in their own heart to help push the moment forward. The only reason why I bring this up is because its fourth quarter. GM firing 14,000 employees before Christmas is a tough cookie to bite into. It stole from what should've been a life changing headline. Through brilliant technology and teamwork we arrived on Mars. Very few said anything about it. They chose instead to talk about their walk at work. No matter how hard you try it doesn't seem to be paying off the way you dreamed. Rather than talking about it we shop. It's Christmas! Instead of reaching toward a real friend, the choice is to keep the liqueur cabinet open a little longer. The pain killers in your private possession always make the ache in your legs go away. I mean it's just a day of doubt. Sitting at home alone isn't a direction. Becoming aware of where you're placing your silent stare is every reason to make sure your circle is tight. Let those around you know of your present place and feelings. It doesn't mean you have to become the wet blanket. Letting them become aware of where you presently feel is the safe room. The last thing you need to hear is, "Come on man get over it. It's the holiday!" Open your door and let someone inside.
