A doubt is a lack of faith or unstable faith in ones own abilities, skills, strength, power etc.

Each fall or absence of success confirms my shortcomings and in this way maintains my doubts about myself.

Doubts throw me out of balance and bring chaos and anxieties. Doubts paralyze my activities and that, in effect, greatly influences the success of my undertakings. It may even cause me to give up some tasks.

Doubts also appear everywhere I do not have sufficient or full knowledge; they weaken my effectiveness.

It is good to ask myself the following questions prior to beginning anything:
- Do I have everything I need?
- In what areas do I have doubts that stop me from being effective?

Answering these questions makes me aware of the doubts. Doubts are very elusive in nature but asking questions about them puts them up against the wall and then they reveal everything. Once I identify the doubt, I can resolve it. This means, for example, gaining more knowledge, gathering necessary things to complete the task or asking additional questions. Once this is done self-confidence replaces the doubt.

I think humility is not a very popular quality these days. Being humble for some reason for many people means being a loser. In the modern society it is expected to be cool and confident and humility is somehow understood to be the opposite of these qualities.

In my life I had many opportunities to learn and practice humility. Humility kept me in line and on my best behavior, made me a good listener and strengthened my patience.

My views on humility have changed or rather deepened when I discovered the essence of it. I have understood that humility helps me to gain knowledge, to accept knowledge easily. Humble attitude opens me up to receiving what someone else has to say and removes any doubts that I might have had.

Humility helps the knowledge flow. Humble person is able to accept 100% of the knowledge presented to him. That means humility works for us. When we want to learn something all we have to do is to be humble to learn faster and easier. It is in our own interest to have this quality and use it as needed.
