Having doubts is seen in a suspicious way, nowadays. It is seen as something to get rid of it. It is as if we have committed as crime. A teacher asks his students to raise doubts, but when they ask their doubts, which the teacher see as obvious, the teacher respond by saying, ‘can’t you understand this, it’s so simple’. Now, the student thinks that there is something wrong in him/her and tries to put his doubt away without resolving it. This behavior is carried in the inner world as well.
Have you ever faced such kind of thing?
Well, having doubt is a good thing. Because it makes us aware that, we don’t have clarity on that subject matter. It’s like pain is a good thing because it helps us become aware of the part of the body which needs attention.
So, now the question is, how to resolve our doubts?
The first thing is understanding what the doubt is about, as it has been said quite often, the answer lies in the problem itself. It helps us in gaining clarity on what we are actually trying to solve.
And, the second step is finding the best way to solve it.
Suppose you are confused, have doubts regarding which career path to choose. So, the first step will be understanding what the doubt is about, like the number of career options you have, and why you are facing difficulty in choosing one among those. It may turnout out that you want to do something else but your parents are insisting you to do some other thing.
After this, find the best way to solve it. Like you may consider to weigh the benefits and loss/risk and reward each career option present and consider the one which gives more benefits and are less risky. Or you may find that the circumstances are one where currently you have to choose what your parents say, but while doing so you may continue to do what you like and build upon it. You can get the best of both the world and in future switch over to one. OR you may find that you require more exploration/information to decide.
It will differ from individual to individual. So, it is important why that doubt exists for you and trying the best possible approach to solve it.
I hope it was helpful. Keep Learning, Keep Growing.
