How to Practice with Doubt

You don’t need to banish doubt. You don’t need to conquer it. You don’t need to pretend it’s not there.

Let doubt sit beside you. Let it breathe too.

Doubt is not the enemy. It’s a gate.

Not a locked door, but a threshold you walk through every time you sit down, every time you whisper, “I don’t know.”

That’s practice.

Not knowing, and staying anyway.

Not believing, and breathing anyway.

Doubt humbles you. Doubt asks real questions. Doubt burns away what isn’t true.

Let it.

You don’t have to explain your path to anyone, not even to yourself.

You don’t have to wake up with certainty. You just have to wake up.

Sit in the fog. Stand in the confusion. Walk through the middle of not knowing with both hands open.

This is the practice.

The moment you stop trying to be sure, you start being real.

There’s room for doubt. There’s space for questions. There’s silence wide enough for it all.

Don’t wait to feel ready. Don’t wait to feel certain. Don’t wait to feel holy.

Start here. Start with “I don’t know.” Start with “I’m still learning.”

And keep going.

Even doubt bows when it sees you keep walking.
