WHEN IN DOUBT

Doubt: Fear, distrust, uncertainty, skepticism, cynicism, indecisiveness, avoidance, ambiguity, complacency. The list goes on. Is there anyone who has not been plagued with selfdoubt? How many of us are truly selfconfident? In business and in our greater world today, insecurity is today’s norm.

Doubt is basically the feeling- or the non-feeling- that you don’t have the tools or the strength to make a decision. Doubt can be insidious as it is invisible with no shape or expression.

Doubt for a short time is natural. When it festers, often people in business replace the need for certainty with aggressive confidence and will mistake this for true confidence.   Each day at Dickstein Real Estate Services we work closely with business owners who must wrestle with making long term decisions in the face of short term doubts.

So, what am I getting at here?

Facing doubt, in business and in life, is a neverending battle. Ever notice that just before we make a major decision is when we often experience waves of doubt?  Did you notice when you are tired how you will often second guess yourself?

Everything in the universe is constantly changing and in our world the pace of that change is accelerating.

The themes above are taken from an article by Rabbi Simon Jacobson when writing about the story of Ester. Amalek is one of the great villains in Jewish history. His descendent, Haman, is the villain of the book of the Ester. Amalek embodies doubt.
