Doubt

I had a long conversation yesterday about how important doubt is as part of faith, doubting our current constructs in faith and in life give us the opportunity to deconstruct them and grow.

Then this morning I came upon this great quote by Rilke

"Your doubt may become a good quality if you train it. It must become knowing, it must become critical. Ask it, whenever it wants to spoil something for you, why something is ugly, demand proofs from it, test it, and you will find it perplexed and embarrassed perhaps, or perhaps rebellious. But don’t give in, insist on arguments and act this way, watchful and consistent, every single time, and the day will arrive when from a destroyer it will become one of your best workers — perhaps the cleverest of all that are building at your life."

Get skin in the game, train your doubt.
