Faith and Doubt are the same thing

Faith and Doubt are the same thing

Hey, ,


I've been thinking a lot about the difference between faith and doubt.


Faith is: Believing in something that you can't see and don't know will actually happen.


Doubt, on the other hand, is believing in something you can't see and don't know will actually happen.


The difference? Faith is believing in what we want, and doubt is believing in what we don't want.


"I'm going to get the job!" - Faith

"I'm going to get fired." - Doubt.


What's the advantage of feeding our doubt rather than our faith?


We get to be right.


Having faith feels irresponsible becasue it's optimistic. Doubt feels realistic.


But neither is inherently true. They're both just possibilities.


Focus on your faith. It's more fun.


You got this!


Ken
