Inner Confidence
As I write this, I am staring at the never ending flow of ocean waves along the shore.
This wonderful force of nature questions not what people think.
She never worries about when 'it's just too much'.
She flows.
She flows with the power of who & what she is.
In the oneness of her connection with the Universe, the Earth and all of
the energy moving through her.
There is no doubt about where her place is or if she's 'worthy' of
taking up the space she requires.
In fact if the mood strikes her and the energy is supporting it, she'll take up some more space here on this planet some seem to think is all our own.
Her motives are never unjust or vengeful.
In fact she gives much more than she ever asks in return.
We know that it's a silly thought to stand in opposition of her.
We must simply work with her.
For she is constant and sure of her self.
If it's left to a question of who is the strongest,
I don't know any that would stand and win against her.
SHE has inner confidence!
How is it that we feel so very different from this 'force of nature'?
We are in fact the same.
We are made from the same stuff if you break it down to a scientific level.
We were created by the same...higher power.
We live in the same place intended to do the same thing.
Why would we question ourselves or our place here any more than she does?
It is our purpose here to flow with the energy that moves us.
We often imagine obstacles in our way, put there by ourselves
or others who don't know any better.
But what does the ocean do with obstacles that are in her path? She works around them. Gentle, constant, never ending persistence. She doesn't seem to give them much thought or power at all really. Why do we? So, what is inner confidence?
We are all of the ocean.
We are all of the clouds, the wind, the rain, the stars.
Why then do we allow ourselves to remain cut off from the energy that moves us?
Perhaps it's the constant comparing of ourselves to others.
"I'm not like you or them and so I must be wrong, or you must be wrong
or they must be wrong..."
We seem to hide our inner light and inner being or rebel against
that which we feel makes us feel inadequate.
Perhaps inner confidence is not something to be attained.
Perhaps it's something to be acknowledged from within & allowed to shine through.
Perhaps it's our inner light and inner being in it's most natural state.
Maybe dancing with the energy that moves through us Is inner confidence showing it's self.
Whether we're an artist, musician, author, healer, etc.... when we allow this energy to freely move through us and create a harmonious space for it within,
we have inner confidence because
we are now creating
a comfortable space for our true being.
We are that which created us.
It doesn't matter what name you choose to call it.
The energy is what it is. What it is, is too big for one name.
This is to be experienced, danced with & enjoyed.
For then and only then do we truly let our light shine.
We are the passion that the Universe is expressing.
It is only our own fear or misdirection that creates a distance from our one true home...
our inner self.
It's a beautiful space. There is no other like you.
Comparing ourselves to anyone else,living up to others expectations and beliefs is futile.
Enjoy the dance only you can enjoy with the energy that moves you.
For it can move through no other as it does you.
Throughout time the masses have misunderstood those who think outside the box.
Yet, the people we celebrate and study are ALL people who did exactly that.
Look at the people in life and in history that you most admire.
Examine what it is about them that you are most drawn to.
What qualities do they hold that inspire you?
Now, understand, you could never have seen that within them if you didn't also
possess those same qualities.
We are all made of the same stuff.
You have the same energy running through you that those who inspire you.
Take some time and find examples of those qualities within you.
They may be expressed or they may be suppressed but they must be there for you to have recognized it in another.
Find it, nurture it and focus your energy in those directions.
You are as the Ocean is, A fabulous force of nature!
