Lack of self-confidence stems from a deep rooted belief that we aren’t good enough the way we are.
Our beliefs about our self-worth may have been influenced by a past experience, how we were raised, or how we have been conditioned and programmed by our external world.
In either case though, our current confidence level is determined by this deeper belief system that we have about ourselves.
The truth is, it’s quite difficult to remain unaffected by the influences of the outside world when we live in such a spiritually unconscious society. People judge, criticize, compare, and exercise their ego quite often, therefore it’s pretty easy to fall into a separate-self mindset.
This separate-self mindset is what creates our lack of self-confidence in the first place.
When we view the world and everyone in it as separate, we are more inclined to judge and reject. However, when we view the world and everything in it as connected and ONE, we are more inclined to practice compassion and understanding.
When we lack confidence, one of the biggest things we fear is what other people think of us. We have a hard time letting loose and being ourselves because we fear their judgment, criticism, and opinion. We fear that they won’t like us, accept us, or approve of us.
Well here’s a secret. While this might be hard to immediately implement, it will be your saving grace in building true confidence.
The only reason we care about what other people think of us is because one, we are giving them the power to define who we are … probably because we don’t fully know and understand ourselves…
and two, because we are too identified with our false sense of self, the ego, and therefore when people judge us, it directly affects our ego, not our truth, and since we BELIEVE we’re our ego, it feels like a part of ourselves has been destroyed. This leaves us feeling insecure.
When we detach from this false sense of self and awaken to our true nature, uncover our true potential, and connect with our higher selves, we can see the world from a much higher perspective. We can see the truth of who we are, and the truth of who we are not.
When you tap into this deep wisdom, you free yourself from the pressure to be perfect and you simply just start being you.
