The Art of Doubt

When it comes to creativity, doubt can play an almost ever-present role. Is this piece of art good enough? Do I really have the skill-set required? Is this suitable for an audience? Am I good enough to be doing this? So instead of striving to reach a point in your life where you are free of all self-doubt, why not try, doubting your doubts.
We can spend many an hour in the face of our doubts, allowing them to guide us as though they are the sat nav to our creative outpourings. When all along there lies the possibility that they are sending us in the wrong direction.
What if your doubts are wrong? What if you become suspicious that they aren’t telling you anything worthwhile? What if you distrust those very doubts instead of taking them up as some kind of Holy Grail of truth?
This is an area where being wrong about your own doubts could prove to be much more conducive to your creative endeavours than believing in all of them.
