What Do We Make of This Thought Trap Called Doubt?

Ever found yourself halfway through a great idea… only to talk yourself right back out of it?

  • “Maybe later.”
  • “Maybe never.”

Welcome to Doubt—where your own mind moonlights as both dream crusher and comfort coordinator.

In this episode, we unpack the fifth and final thought trap outlined by the Buddha:

Doubt.

It’s not just hesitation. It’s hesitation disguised as logic.

Not just uncertainty—but a full-body wrap of second-guessing that feels like wisdom… and smells like stale fear.

So why do we cling to it?

And more importantly: how do we spot it before it swaddles us in another round of inaction?

Let’s unravel the cozy trap of Doubt—and finally, get moving toward the far shore.
