Self-Confidence is not always easy to come by. Especially if the reflection of you from others has been bullying, putting down,dismissal, doubt, belittling, excluding and such. How does one get to know their authentic essential Self when this is the world in which they live?
These negative mirrors are a sense of abuse to the True Self. Especially for children who are so open and ready to absorb everything.  Babies are filled with such innocense and curiousity. They take what they are given as truth because they are simply born this way. So dependent and needing to be protected. Their tiny brains take in what is offered, and they organized based upon the reality that is presented.
As children grow, they look toward their parents, their friends, and community to teach them about love and kindness. But this is not always the case. We all know this. We turn on the news and violence is everywhere.
So what can a person do to overcome all the breaks in their trust formed from the world in which we live?
One of the keys to this is to begin to trust your own Inner Wisdom. You know, it is that voice in your head that says,  “this is the best way”. It may say to you,  “take a bath”.  Something as simple as this to relax your muscles and give you some time to empty your head.  As you begin to listen to this “Higer Voice” more often, it will get more inolved in more difficult scenerios more often too.  Our Inner Wisdom is always wanting to help us to grow and change, even when we resist the generosity of this Self-Love.
Often enough, when we have been betrayed or hurt, we decide, “oh- I will do this alone, on my own”.  We do this to try and stay safe.  It can make sense for a short time, but in the long-run, we begin to close ourselves in.  We miss out on the reality of inter-connected relatioships both within ourselves and with the outer world.
In our hopes to survive, we need to change our thinking.  We have been limiting ourselves and our potential severely.  You  and I were born to greatness.  We are walking miracles happening every moment.  The Spirit of God, of the Universe, of all of Existence is living inside of us, trying to give us guidance each day to live our best lives.
If you want the best for yourself.  If you want to be strong, creative and a true leader, you must begin to listen to your Own Inner Wisdom instead of leaking it away to Others.  You will know that the voice is truth when it if Kind, Compassionate, Honest, and Truth.  It will resonate in both your heart and your mind. Listen to this voice and notice how your life begins to change. Notice the new steps that you feel brave enough to take.  You have he resource inside of you to be a Powerful Presence for yourself and for others.  I want this for me, and I want this for all of you who read this.
If you have been drawn to read this, these words are writen from that Voice that comes to me.  I hope is uplifts your day to know that everything is possible when you begin to Listen and build your Self-Confidence.
Warmly,
