April A-Z Blogging – Day 4 : ‘D’
During my schooldays, after very lecture, our teacher would wait for us to ask her questions, some doubt regarding the concepts that were taught. Doubts meant “you understood something”. Funny, but true. Children with lots of doubts were considered intelligent and inquisitive to learn. You should have a million doubts so that you will learn a million new things!
Interesting! isn’t it? But for how long does it remain true?
Every nice word and aspect of life starts to show it’s ugly side as we grow up. When we are young we learn to make friends, as we grow we learn to understand enemies and frenemies. The words fun, happiness and peace diminish to show their ugly twins.
So does “doubt”. The very basic thought that helped us understand things in the universe and beyond the universe, make us to doubt some of the most beautiful of aspects of life too. It slowly starts to break down the tiny little blocks of faith and trust with which we built our castle called life, destroying every little space we had left for ventilation only to suffocate ourselves.
Doubts are good as long as they give a productive result. But….
When was the last time you doubted your friend?
When was the last time you doubted your love?
When was the last time you doubted yourself?
The sense of doubt is like walking on a tight rope. The more you doubt, the rope gets higher and weaker. When you think you could no longer believe in yourself/someone, the rope breaks only to drop you hard from the great heights.
Sometimes I feel so lost and directionless. I feel like a loser. I doubt my ability to achieve. I wonder if I’ll ever make it. But every single time, when this terrible thought knocks my head, I shake it back by reminding myself about the fact that “I’m born for a reason, and I’m going to make it.”
So, the next time when you are in doubt, ask yourself, “Do I really have to suffocate myself or should I take a leap of faith?”
After all life is all about making the best of now for dreaming a better future! 🙂

The Confused Young Adult 
Ah yes, doubt does happen on a regular basis for probably most of us. I know I doubt myself often but try my best to push through anyways. Each novel draft comes with its share of doubt, including the current edit. I should work on that even if I have doubt on the results.
