Belief or Doubt? What Is Driving You?
“Even Gwen Steffani, said she couldn’t doubt me.”
-Lil Wayne
How many people are living their lives in self doubt? How many people in their lives are living their lives in self belief?
You know when you are leading your life by doubt, when you are searching for answers outside of yourself, and the answers don’t seem to fit well with your soul. You also know when you are living in self belief when you find the answers within you and the answers fit well with your soul.
In your honest attempts to fit in with the crowd and please everyone, you give in and allow doubt to lead the way. Doubt comes mainly in the form of fear. So being lead by doubt is the same thing as being led by fear.
People assume that since everyone seems to be making decisions nowadays out of fear, that that is the way to go. This is nonsense. If you have a belief about something you want to change in your life, it really is up to you to change it.
People make decisions based in fear all the time. I still do this. However, I am gradually learning that action that stems out of fear only leads to very temporary rewards. As a matter of fact, action out of fear keeps me worried and uninspired. In order to really become a person that is living from ones higher self, you must develop a habit of being driven by belief. It is a belief in yourself and in what you intend to manifest.
The challenging part that it is a daily mental habit. You almost have to live in two different worlds. One world is the desire world where you have your hopes and wishes, and the other is this physical world where you work towards making those desires real.
To be led by belief, inspiration, and hope is not the easier of the two routes. However, the person that is aware of this generally chooses belief instead of doubt, because they know where the two lead.
On some rare occasions, I doubt what I’m doing and why I’m even doing it for. However, I’ve come to understand that these times I am thinking in this manner, I am not operating from my higher self. My higher self is inspired, hopeful, and believes in the bigger picture. My higher self is a place of truth for me.
The idea of being inspired most of the day is a reality I live in. This is because I choose thoughts and surround myself with energies of higher vibration. I know that it’s a cold world out there, but I choose to be up here and share with people that are in the cold world, the reality of living an inspired life.
The answer lies in being true. True to what you know, and how you live.
My concern is that many people are operating at their lower selves most of the time, and out of this comes more doubt, because the efforts and action they take are based in fear to begin with.
I urge people if they choose, to begin operating from their higher selves. This place is not some fantasy, or idealistic place that exist outside of you. It’s actually a simple place inside your soul that only takes a few minutes each day to tap into. This may be realized during meditation, or any practice where you are fully engaged in the present moment.
Belief or Doubt? What is Driving You?
Acting from our higher self is difficult to master but I believe we all can do it. We just have to change our mindsets and defy the false beliefs that has been stifling our true potential.

Hey Walter,
I agree, it does take time and effort on our part. However it is very possible and once the indvidual understands the value and rewards that come with listening to their higherselves, they will eventually choose to look within to access this higher self with them.
Baker, I think this post is powerful! I believe our life right now is a result of every action we’ve taken and decision we’ve made. When we believe and feel confident about taking action, then we get positive results. Being fearful leads to bad decisions!
Hey Faizal,
Thank you for contributing to this site. Yes, many times descions out of fear, aren’t always the best choices. Positive results hapen when we operate out of belief.
