Doubt

How often I doubt myself, that never used to be the case! I am not sure when it began, but it has become a habit. I never used question anything I did, or even think about it before it happened. I was confident that things would always work out, and they always did. I wouldn't second guess when to move on from something, I always just instinctively knew I had satisfied my curiosity and was ready to find out something new. I am calling out all my bad habits that having been nagging at my soul and character, so they too can be lightened as I find my way again.

I never used to be sad before I began doubting myself, but I was also ignorant of how many heartbreaks life could hold for a sensitive heart. However, I recently learned about the power of optimism, and how you to be able to recognize it, learn how to seek it out, and eventually how to grow it. There is always going to be sadness and suffering, but to let it into my daily life so often is making for a life not lived. I want to not only always see the glass half full, but top it off in a fancy cup.

I already feel a bit lighter and happier and am finding things that satisfy the idea of growth and healing and I want to achieve. May the road ahead be a bit smoother than the road in the review mirror.
