Do you Believe in Yourself?
Lots of
times people have issues with believing what people say. In these modern times
where truth and variations of truth or outright lies change places very often –
both in political as well as business discourse – which in effect means in the
lives of almost every individual on this planet! How does one deal with such
issues? Such questions keep cropping up – there is a saying for liars – there are
liars, there are politicians and then to top them all there are statisticians,
where everything is manipulated to present figures the way the presenter wants
to show it, and who cares about the ‘facts’ – as it is facts are supposed to be
stranger than fiction, isn’t it?!?
How do you
believe what is being drummed into our heads in school, in colleges, in universities,
through the media and in one’s office to achieve one’s targets? What does one
believe in? The first step would be to start believing in yourself – believe that
whatever you do will be according to the dictates of your own conscience. It
takes a lot of courage to listen to your conscience, which is nothing but the
divine inner voice which resides within every human being. The inner voice
always guides you correctly – it is the brain which you need to control because
that will tell you don’t do this, do that as it is easier and faster! If you
follow the brain, some time later you may land up in unforeseen problems and
you then realise that the way directed by the conscience though tougher, would
have taken more time, but it would have provided a more lasting and permanent
solution to that particular issue. Life always shows you two ways, it brings
you to a fork on the pathway of life – the easy way and the tough way. If you
follow the tough way, you will find out that your self-belief increases substantially
over time as the path you have followed is the path shown by your soul – in such
cases you pass all the tests and succeed in life. Success here is all
encompassing – material success, social success, family success, being at peace
with one’s own self – that is something which money can never buy!
Learn to
have faith in your own self, strengthen your self-belief to such an extent that
whatever happens in the outer world, you will always be able to filter out the
nonsense and make sense of whatever information comes your way. Meditation and centering
within one’s inner core help you listen to the sound of your inner voice which
always becomes a beacon to guide you through life’s many lanes and by-lanes till
you reach your own destination.
