Those Doubting Thomases
No sirrrrrrs, our piece today is NOT about religion or more so Christianity, not at all. Instead, we'd like to zero-in on real life situations we all come across when there are Those Doubting Thomases. And today, I read an article on Dwayne Wade who was kind of bashed for taking a minority ownership with the NBA Utah Jazz ballclub instead of Miami Heat where he retiredπππ
Now, please allow me to quote Dwayne Wade: 'WHEN PEOPLE STILL DOUBT YOU, GO FAR AWAY SO YOU WON'T HEAR THEIR NOISE'. Oooops that did hit things on the nail's head and I came to realize that that's a valid statement. No need to run your counter-arguments and no need to waste time reacting to noises in the periphery which remain as NOISES at that and nothing else. And if you are perturbed, indeed, as Dwayne Wade said, GO FAR AWAY⏳⏳⏳I did run into all these fracas and noise in the past. Some quarters doubted me as to my capabilities, as to how far can I go, reach and end up in my journey. So, how did I handle things? I went so far away such that I DON'T & WON'T hear all those Doubting Thomases. End result, I managed to disprove all those doubts about meπππSo how exactly did I handle those situations? First off, I literally 'SHUT OFF' all my eavesdropping around me. But this action is a double-bladed step because once you SHUT OFF, if there are good advices, you can miss them out so how did I tweak things? I did that selective filtering so that my eardrums remained wide and open to anything coming from my spouse/partner, loved ones and my most trusted circleπππTo recap, allow me to share this cycled diagram I stumbled across. It is fairly simple but this cycle is ensconced on two feet firmly on the ground. First off, stand pat and firm on things you really believe in. No amount of pressure and coercion can throw you off your saddle on that. Secondly, when doubts linger, DON'T accept such doubts hook, line and sinker. As this poster goes, DOUBT YOUR DOUBTS because it's your call [and NOT the Doubting Thomases]✅✅✅
