Today's
Meditation:
Who
are you? Genuinely and sincerely, who are you?
And are you trying your best to be that person all the
time, no matter where you are, whom you're with, or the
situations in which you find yourself? If you have
true self-confidence, then you'll find that whoever you
are, that's enough for you, and whatever you're doing,
that's enough for you as long as it truly reflects who you
are.
A
strong self-confidence is one of the most important things
we can develop if we want to get the most out of this life
we're in. And we lose our self-confidence when we
put ourselves in situations in which we don't really
belong-- when we're trying to be something we aren't.
Books are full of stories of people who spent years
pursuing jobs they weren't qualified for or that weren't
fulfilling, or who wasted much of their lives doing things
more to impress others than to use their own true skills
and abilities.
And
those stories can teach us something very important about
ourselves and our lives-- that when we're true to who we
are, we can't lose our self-confidence because we'll be
doing what we were called to do, doing things that we know
we can do well. And when we're doing that, our lives
become easier and more relaxed, for we don't have to worry
so much about mistakes and failures-- we'll still have
both, of course, but in such a place in our lives that we'll be
able to deal with them quickly and easily.
The
greatest gift I can give to the world is to be
myself. Anything else that I can give already has
been given. And when I focus on being myself my life
becomes easier, and I can be myself even better.
What a great endless circle that becomes!
