On Uncertainty and Doubt

It seems like everywhere you turn nowadays you get some message about doubt, doom and gloom. The ironic thing is that doubt can actually be a catalyst for creating great things in our lives. Here's what some smart people say about the subject.

Alfred Korzybski:

There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking.

Andre Gide:

Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.

Erich Fromm:

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Frank Crane:

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Are You Experienced?


Your personal experience deeply affects everything you do including how you see the world. Here's what some smart people have to say about the subject.

Samuel Smiles:

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Douglas Adams:

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Ethel Barrymore:

You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.

Iris Murdock:

We can only learn to love by loving.

Pearl S. Buck:

One faces the future with one's past.

You Already Have the Answers in You

Deep inside you live the answers to the questions you have about life. Many people spend their entire lives ignoring these inner thoughts but those who listen to them benefit from following a life of great fulfillment. The reason that we have the answers inside of us is that we are born with certain hopes, dreams and talents that are unique to each of us. Nobody else in the world has these talents and only we can provide the subtle variation and specialization of these particular gifts. On the other end are people who are ready to connect with us and use our talents because it makes sense to them.

When you look within you for the answer to life’s questions you begin to connect with who you really are and you live a life of less effort and strain. Following the voice inside you allows you to live comfortably because you are following the path that makes sense to you. The next time you are looking for answers from someone else consider the following questions:

  • What does my inner voice say I should do?
  • Does this answer reflect who I really am inside?
  • Am I blocking the true answer in any way?
  • What small step can I take today to follow up on this answer?

Learn to trust your inner voice and you begin the process of validating yourself. We each have the answers to what we need in life inside us. It is our choice whether we listen.
