Confidence

Confidence is that feeling of reassurance that you are in alignment with your higher self. You KNOW that you have done the right thing and done it well. It is actually easy to follow your inner voice because it is what you are meant to do. It is how you are "wired" emotionally. The part that becomes difficult is trusting that what you want is ok or will work or won't get you in trouble or you won't feel silly for doing it or even thinking it or... well, you get the idea. There are a thousand reasons not to believe in yourself and only one reason to trust -- and that is because you will only truly be happy when you allow yourself to listen to the voice within your heart. You don't have to wait. You don't have to become a better person. You don't have to get a degree. You don't have to get married. You don't even have to take a shower and straighten up your room. You just have to believe and give it a try. We would advise not telling anyone unless it is someone who can just listen and support you in your dreams. The voice of the heart often sounds crazy to someone else. What!? You're not going to use that law degree? What do you mean you want to paint?!! If painting makes you happy and you don't have money, you will find a way. There are innumerable ways for God to bring you what you want. Someone can ask you to house sit. You can rent some tumbled down shanty by the sea. You can take your canvas to the park. You can take a class. You can just begin and do it because you love it and it makes you feel good. It is often that there are people around that just won't understand because they think in terms of practicality and dollars and sense. We are not knocking that at all, we are applauding everyone and anyone who is in alignment with their life intentions. We are saying that not everyone wants to do the same thing. As a matter of fact, no two people want to do exactly the same thing in the same way! There is plenty of room for every good desire. And Source does answer your every call. The way to confidence is to trust that what you want is ok. You will feel so much better if you do. If you allow yourself to do that, it will energize you and you will get those things done that would have seemed draining chores to you before. Now they will be as easy as pie. You will be open to others and they will respond. The world will beat a path to your door and tell you they love you. We have to admit here that not everyone wants the world at their doorstep! What we are saying is that love will find a way to bring you what you want, not perhaps in the exact way you are desiring, but absolutely in the spirit of what you are wanting. You may not win the lottery, but you can pay your bills in a way that makes you happy. You may not win the Pulitzer, but you can write and have others read and appreciate your work. You may not be the President of the United States, but you can be the president of a club of importance to you. You can rule your own life. You can be the king in charge of your own kingdom for there is no other truth. You are the creator of your own reality. In tandem with others, in concert with others, allowing yourself to be influenced by others by your own choice...but it is your world, your universe to explore and expand into joyously and forever. We are complete!!
