Dropping the doubt
 Though
it has no physical form, doubt can restrain you more
surely than the strongest steel chain. Yet doubt is
nothing but a thought, and has no power other than the
power you give to it.
Although doubt can stubbornly hold you back, you can do
something even more powerful. You can let go of it
entirely.
Doubt is nothing more than a thought. Any doubt, with a
fraction of an effort, can be forever gone the moment
you decide to remove it.
If you fight against your doubt it grows stronger and
more resilient. Yet when you simply release it and empty
it from your mind, doubt falls away from you and quickly
withers into nothing. There is not one single doubt that
is permanently attached to you. Any doubt you have is
yours by choice.
Let each of your doubts fall quickly and easily. In the
place where they once lived, choose instead to hold and
nurture thoughts of positive, empowering confidence.
