How do you encourage your true self?

It is common to encounter people who focus on what they have not yet accomplished or done. They may even get down on themselves.  You may not realize that your mind is spending more time telling you what is wrong with you than what you are doing right.   Part if you may be wondering, how do you encourage your true self?

Everyone has power to draw strength from inside themselves.  How often do you do this?  When you struggle at work, in relationships, with your health or, some other area of  your life, it may seem challenging to focus on blessings.  Yet, you can! It begins with you.  Encouraging your core to emerge and flourish is related to celebrating all that you are.

No matter what you are facing, you did not get this far without believing in something great for you.  You have faith in yourself to get this far, and learning is a constant process.  Rather than pinpoint the wrong you do, highlight everything that goes right.

It is much harder to maintain a negative focus if you have a sense of reasons to encourage yourself.  Have you ever made a list of reasons why you have made it this far? Have you ever kept a record of comments, cards or other ways people praise you for what you have done? If not, you can write these things down yourself.

To get to the point where encouraging yourself comes easily, you need to be willing to take a few initiatives.  You can realize that being down on your luck does not mean you have to stay in a related mindset.  Be willing to change. It is not possible to stay down and defeated when you learn to compliment yourself sense teh good you offer others.

To encourage your true self begins with believing in your untapped potential. You need to imagine what good you can do in the world.  You have to be ready to realize what good you have already done, how you bless people with your existence and efforts as you are. 

Learn to accept compliments and give them to yourself. You are great at something, even if you do not yet know what it is. Go ahead, look in the mirror and tell yourself you are fabulous, loving and becoming all you can!  Do not hesitate to celebrate yourself.

What if your vision of success is an illusion?

What if the success you perceive in the world around you is an illusion? Everyone you associate with some kind of triumph or achievement is still learning. In fact, everyone is on a perpetual learning curve. In this way, success is always a personal journey.

You may evolve to wonder why human beings focus so much on success. They define it with external things more often than the sense of developing self-understanding.

It is common to admire a person who appears on top of his game, and this kind of attitude is not a problem. Yet, if you assume this has to be him and is not you, then you forget who you really are and miss a key message offered to you when you admire others. Rediscover life-transforming traits within yourself. Everyone offers a friendly reminder.

As you reflect, you will notice you are drawn to events, attracted to personalities, media images, and even lifestyle. Maybe some part of you even desires to become them.

Another way to view success is to realize everyone is on his or her own journey.   It is not about trying to be someone else, but rediscovering who you are.  People who are successful in their field inspire you to excel where you are. They are not the real role models of your life, you are! The success that you envision outside could be a big illusion.

Train yourself to listen to your inner voice of faith. When you conduct your life in this manner you would still come across people to guide you, inspire and motivate you.  Everything is energy.  The universe acts in your favor to help you achieve your dream.

Which messages are you reading?

If you believe something exists beyond this physical world, then you may also believe that something or someone is seeking to convey a message to you.  This is not necessarily a dream.  Which messages are you reading? What do you want to hear? from whom? Why?

Each being is limited in ways it communicates.  This is based on energy vibration and the state of a soul's evolution.  You know yourself, in the physical world, that it can seem easier to commuicate with some people than others, even if part of you knows what it wants to say.  Part of you holds back or, you may not find the right words to convey your message clearly so that the recipient understands. Your thought associations may not jive with the person you're speaking with.  On unseen levels, your energy is not aligned.

Spirit encounter a similar situation when they desire to share words and ideas with the mind of a human being.   Not every person is receptive to such messages.  Not everyone wants to hear.  If you do not choose to harmonize thoughts, then you will not receive.

Those who contemplate what is possible may not grasp what is necessary to evolve the soul.  Express love unconditionally and you protect yourself from undesirable entities.  Compassion only attracts compassion.  If you love someone and they love you back, then you are connected beyond the physical.  You can open doorways through the dense energy of the physical to spirit worlds beyond.  Spirit teach those who want contact.

Spirit work in different ways, but often connect through aligning with the energy of a person's aura.  Some people learn to raise energy vibration enough to connect with spirit that learn to slow their vibration down.  Where the will exists, your understanding grows.  Thus, you journey to open the eye of soul or, expand your degree of perception.

One remarkable thing is how spirit can work though a person to help someone else, to provide reassurance or some other message.  At the same time, spirit convey messages to the medium about his or her physical life.  Some are selectively hearing and listening.

It is no coincidence spirit approach certain mediums, for mediums are always learning themselves. Their lessons emerge as they attune to subtle nuances 'between the lines.'  You can withdraw and detach for extended periods in isolation to develop yourself or, learn what it means to live on the physical plane without being consumed or affected.

How would perfect faith change your life?

Faith is often associated with religion, but its essence transcends the physical world.  You might consider this concept to be an immeasurable confidence or trust, that is, a feeling you know through sensation and vibration.  You may sense it is something else.

Many people will rationalize feelings cannot be proof of anything.  This kind of self- doubt leads human beings to stop trusting their instincts, their body's signs.  You are conditioned to believe "proof" is predictable and repeatable in a scientific sense.  But, you may overlook that sceptics choose to disbelieve because they are not ready to accept another way.  Ever encountered the rigid attitude, "my way or the highway?"

If you had perfect faith, you would rise above any perceived troubles, health issues or imbalances within yourself.  You would see beyond those that hold you back in the external world.  Nothing would disturb your peace of mind.  Imagine that.

Perfect faith would mean negative attitudes do not rattle you.   Energy vampires would not drain you.  Your constant energy would reshape your perception.  You would realize you are eternal at the core.  To raise awareness of your connection with infinity would mean you are unaffected by criticism and judgment.  You would only express love.

If you detect fear in your heart, reasons exist that you have not yet admitted, explored or resolved.  You are invited to rediscover your hidden wounds and heal them.  If you fear particular outcomes, then you doubt yourself.  This would not happen if you realized your true ability and potential.  The willingness to learn is the first step to being more receptive of those things which build unwavering faith.  Proof evolves in form.

You can evolve to recognize a differencet between arrogance and confidence. You will sense variation in energy vibration that you discern for yourself.  Perfect love is unconditional self-acceptance.  As you move toward that, you approach perfect faith.

Why is it that part of you fears the unknown?

Not everyone realizes the nature of the world of matter.  To fear the unknown is to fall prey to ignorance and self-doubt.  You exist in physical form because of spirit and things unseen.  Not permitting yourself to realize the Truth keeps you where you are. 

When you ask people who admit fear of death or other aspects of life why they feel as they do, they often have no conclusive explanation.  They refer to conditioning by religious doctrrine or accept inclinations to worry about situations that may never arise.

Imagine how your perspective would change if you came to believe you could do nothing to disconnect you from your heritage.  Practice seeing beyond the assumptions of other people.  As you focus on events unfolding now, you are rewarded by character growth.

As Silver Birch says, "There is no experience that comes to the human soul, which rightly understood and rightly faced does not leave you better for it." 

This reminds me of a phrase by Lao Tzu who said "A Journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step."  That phrase is perhaps the most well-known phrase of the Tao Te Ching.  As you change how you think, you realize how preventable certain kinds of thinking are.
