This reminds me of an experimental essay I once wrote, called "Grief, the Unwanted Guest." I personified grief and portrayed it as something that wants to guide us throughout life, not pester or harm us. I think your poem fits in to that concept, Niall.
"Those unwanted guests are not so unwanted when you see that they are here to serve you." Love this sentiment! Not every single day can be a good day and doubts are as much of a reason to keep going as reinforcement and encouragement.

Thanks for sharing that Jeannie! All experience is ultimately leading us back to who we are. Seeing this truth helps with testing times and thoughts.
Fear and doubt are a compass. They only appear when you are pointed in a direction worth exploring.
You nailed it, Scott :) Understanding this has significantly improved my ability to move forward with what matters to me

You're right Caoilainn, doubts are completely normal experiences. Accepting this makes it much easier to move forward as you said.
