Believe In Your "Self"

Over the years I am sure we have heard many times to believe in Your "Self". It does make sense and is a good concept to grab hold of and apply. But let's give it a bit more thought as to its underlying meaning.

Even though consciously it does sound good, very seldom do we effectively apply this concept and see viable results in our lives. Now, why is that? I am sure that we want to believe in our own value and bring out our best. Well, there are a few underlying issues that we will briefly discuss.

Who's In Charge?

The main point to consider here is that our subjective or subconscious minds are really running the show. So, even though we may want to believe unless that belief is internalized on an emotional level, it will not stick. We can consciously understand its validity and value, but it is opposed by a current set of beliefs which are responsible for our current conditioning and results,

Without addressing our current belief system, which is evidenced by our habits, we will stay within our current comfort zone and resist any efforts to move in another direction or make any changes. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Another Thing to Consider

Another point I desire to bring out is what "Self" do we desire to trust. Trusting in our habitual conditioned self will only get us more of the same, which is okay if that is what we want. On the other hand, if we desire constructive change leading to transformation, then there is another "Self" to which we must become acquainted. 

This is the part of ourselves that produces our intuitive insights, and some call our conscience. This is the part of ourselves that is beyond conditioning and connects with the greater mysteries of the Universe. I strongly encourage all to get a bit more acquainted with the part of ourselves. It is very willing to participate in our lives in a very constructive way.

All it requires is to pause and reflect a bit so that we slow down enough to pay attention to what is really going on. Here are some Free Videos to get you started in the right direction.

Live with Passion, but most of all EnJoy yourSelves!!
