It’s Not Wrong To Doubt

“Doubt is the difficult mind state of perplexity. It's like being at a crossroads and now knowing which way to go. We go back and forth between alternatives and are then brought to a standstill by bewilderment and indecision. When doubt is overpowering, we can't move. It doesn't even allow us the opportunity to take a wrong turn and learn from our mistakes.” - Joseph Goldstein

When you are in doubt, trust your own wisdom.

There will always be doubts. We will have doubts about a lot of things. To doubt is not necessarily a bad thing. It is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth. That is why where doubt is, there truth is.

“Doubt is the vestibule which all must pass before they can enter into the temple of wisdom; therefore, when we are in doubt and puzzle out the truth by our own exertions, we have gained a something that will stay by us, and which will serve us again.” - Charles Caleb Colton

“Doubt is a sentinel on the watch-tower of the brain, charged with the duty of sounding an alarm, whenever its enemies – superstition, falsehood, ignorance and unreason – attempt to invade the citadel of truth.” - Henry M. Taber

“In all affairs, it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.” - Bertrand Russell

“Doubt is the herald of progress; the genius of reason; the pathway to truth; the advance guard in the contest with intellectual darkness.” - Henry M. Taber

Doubt can only be removed by action. People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. The best way to make people believe you is to set about the task in hand.

There is no harm in doubting.
