Some days, it's simply too hard to feel certain. Sometimes, it's too easy to lose momentum. Some opportunities too quickly escape our grasp. Some people make us feel less than we are. Some things seem truly impossible. Some words present insurmountable obstacles. Some roads go nowhere, fast.
What to do when doubt comes to visit.
Well, there are experts with answers, who tell us what we need to do, who hand out all sorts of tips, tricks and tools.
There are friends who listen, places to air our concerns, ways to pretend it's not happening, avenues that promise exactly the right potions.
There are endless distractions, other people's lives to get lost in, other people's success to measure against, moments of blinding brilliance.
There are quick fixes, false senses of security, band aids.
And then there is me.
When doubt comes to visit, I smile and say that it has come at exactly the right time. That it has made me stop and think, reflect, consider why it's there, decide on the next step, find a way out. That it has done its job and now it's time for it to leave.
When doubt comes to visit, I say 'thank you', ask it to come back again sometime, and then I close the door.
