Let's talk confidence. Why is it everyone seems to have more faith in me than I do?
For the longest time that I was studying for my test, I kept getting told, "Don't worry, you'll pass." And sure enough I did pass, but I knew it could have gone either of two ways. I felt that I had learned about a fifth of the material that was out there. Now, yes, I had studied hard, and worked as much as I could, but I knew I didn't know everything they could ask. Depending on how the questions fell and in what categories, I could have done really badly.
I feel that I was lucky. (What was it... I'd rather be lucky than good.) Of course I keep getting told that it was my hard work that got me past that test. Well, yes it was, because if I hadn't put in the work, I wouldn't have known anything. And there was a lot more that I didn't know than I did. So although I put in the work, I still feel I was lucky. Of course, I also know I was guided, and that makes a difference too.
The moral here? I guess we all seem to have less confidence in ourselves than others do. I think that generally is true for energy workers and healers. We know what we can do, but we aren't always confident that it will work. We may not be confident in what we can do, but there is at least one thing we can be confident in, the source of the energy that we use. I guess that by drawing on that, and the confidence of others (since that also is energy created from belief), we can bolster ourselves and be more confident in who we are, and what we can do.
To thine own self be true. Take care all.
