When most people talk about confidence, the focus is on how generate more confidence.
What if it isn’t more confidence that you need?
Instead, what if it’s really about letting go of lacking confidence so that your inner, impenetrable courage naturally shows up and makes itself known?
So now, let’s take a look at where this lack of confidence comes from. It’s a special little voice that plays in your head, right? It says things like…
“You’re not good enough to do this.”
“You’ll never amount to anything.”
“You loser.”
Notice how the mind talks to you like this. It even uses these exact words. But are they even true?
If you get caught up in them – or react to them – they most certainly are. However, when you stop and examine them with an impartial, ‘observing’ point of view, they’re not true at all.
In fact they’re really just a sound that’s playing in your head. Like dropping a needle on a record, they can play at any time without needing any rhyme or reason.
So, what if you could just take the needle off the record and have these sorts of sounds NOT play in your head at all?
How confident would you naturally be?
You would be solid in it – in your Beingness.
So this is the answer! Erase the negative sounds in your head, which becomes easier when you stop now and just observe another aspect about your mind…
Notice how every sound, every sentence, is a repeat of the past. An echo of something that happened some time ago. Which further proves how unreal any of it is, and why it’s pointless to listen to any of it at all.
This is the power of quiet.
Start quieting that mind, and find your real Inner Voice.
