I feel we should welcome any doubt in our lives..without doubts there are no questions and without questions there are no answers.

there are multiple meaning or connotations to the word 'doubt'.
One aspect is what you describe above - a healthy feeling of not being convinced or seeking clarifications and explanations that leads to more knowledge, understanding appreciation and acceptance.

the other aspect of doubt is the rejection or distrust, sometimes suspicion. this aspect of doubt might not help you progress, because the questions that crop in your mind lead to away from knowing it more, but understanding it less. Sometimes this is needed so that you stay clear of being mislead.

So when you have a doubt, is there a doubt that you already have an impression and that your questions flow in that direction?
