The Doubtful Mind

Confidence and believing are two ingredients that we all need to realise the vision throughout life doubts fill the mind lacking that something to make decision Throughout life struggled in speech stammering non fluent whatever it be but thinking I can't speak normal like always believing it can't be done not by me Filled by doubts of the next word always not able unsure tongue tied telling one self cannot do it all of one hopes have nearly died On my wedding day believing I can do it to say my vows fluently complete this I did confident believing anew no stammer that day it did delete Even the speech at reception went fine what a day to see vision realise even just for these moments makes one's confidence certainly rise (This came from thinking on the following quote- "There is no faster way to bring about misfortune than to think it is coming. Thought is a powerful force, and it is a creative tool that many people give little energy to -- or abandon in the face of any real threat to safety or stability. What are you worried about today? Why? Rather than worry about it, would it not be a better use of your mental time to visualize a positive outcome? Use your mind in this way today and you will have tapped one of the most extraordinary tools God has placed in your hand for the creation of your tomorrows.") - F.L. Lucan
