Re-analyzing Purpose
Doubt has a lot of faces and it changes impressions as the situation differs from one to the next. These situations occur when you are confronted by a scenario where the choice you make determines the outcome of an important action that can or will affect the rest of your life... pretty straight forward, huh;) However straight forward it might sound, that feeling of doubt is not just a piece of cake, nor is it a challenge that can be quickly analysed and brought to a conclusion. Even if you decide which decision to make, there might still be a feeling of doubt.
With that said, a new perspective can now make its way into this creative or expressive piece. A new mode of thinking that can only be applied if one is aware of them self and their environment, possesses a reasonable sense of humour, and is familiar with the Jamaican expression, "buil' nuh!" This term simply means to be patient. Nothing should be done hastily or in a rush, especially when one is in doubt. "When you are in doubt, wait (buil'). Fall back on the contemplation of your vision, and increase your faith and purpose; and by all means, in times of doubt and indecision, cultivate gratitude." - Wallace D. Wattles, 1910.
Who said gratitude wasn't "the shit"?! That stuff is as good as the highest grades of marijuana on the island paradise of Jamaica or even better, and is super easy to obtain or access. All that needs to be done is to think of something that makes you feel really good, something special that makes you realise how lucky you are to be alive and energetic... the list can just keep going on and on. Finding something different to be grateful for every time the word GRATITUDE comes to mind, makes those faces of doubt turn into a big fat grin which actually makes life seem like its only purpose is to make sure you never fail to strengthen your faith until you eventually find your dreams.
That's why it may be worth it to just 'buil' or hope and pray.
