A Piece of Peace: Doubt vs Faith

Hello and welcome to a piece of peace, your weekly dose of motivation and inspiration. 

Today I would like to share on the topic “Doubt vs. Faith”. Like many of you, I struggle with doubt. Sometimes the very idea of doing something dramatically outside your comfort zone brings so many feelings of uncertainty.

Can I really do it? Am I good enough? What will people think about what I am doing? Are my parents going to be happy? The fact of the matter is Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. It is the number 1 cause of inactivity and unproductivity in us. 

Questioning your ability to perform any task means a lack of faith in who you are.  Many of us are waking up each day procrastinating on things we have promised ourselves we would do years ago.

We continue to remain in the same unhappy situation because we do not have the courage to pursue our passion. Because doubt is something that affects your self-esteem, productivity and confidence, it may leave you feeling inadequate. 

Feelings of inadequacy tend to result in a general disinterest in the work you are currently doing and in turn have a long term damaging effect.

Can you endure your uncertainty until it shows you another way? Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what is going to happen next.

To The People Who Make The Stars In Ghana

When it comes to entertainment, Ghana is a country blessed with so many talents and crafts, from singing, dancing, acting, and painting down to playing instruments.

But among millions of talented Ghanians, just a few are able to make it to the limelight and get the nation's attention even though divine intervention and the individual's hard work plays a major role in the celebrities (musician, presenters, DJ’s, Actors and Actresses ,politician) rise to stardom.

There are individuals in the background who work tirelessly to promote these individuals, and I am not talking about their producers, presenters, record label or managers, though they playing a major role.

I'm talking about the young men and women who are not seen most of the time, hardly heard talk less about being recognized on the televisions, radio and print media, but work hard to get the news to out readers early and fast on their websites, blogs, newspapers and on social media.
