“Confidence is like a well within you that you can draw on.”
From the teachers: We all suffer from lack of confidence from time to time. There is no shame there. But what will you do to make things you truly want to come about, if you lack confidence? We think confidence is like a well within you that you can draw upon, and it never empties and is always full, so to speak. You draw up buckets of it as you need it. And being needers of confidence, as you are of water, you need it often.
Now, when the “well runs dry,” it is not really dry, but you have lacked confidence that it is full. Do you understand? You are allowing something to run dry, that cannot run dry. So it must be your perception and only your perception. It is as if you were to walk out to a lake and not see the water that is there. It is there, but you say you cannot see it. Some may say, not being able to appreciate it is the near cousin to not being able to see something. So if you perceive that the well of your confidence has run dry, have you really looked? Are you in tune with what you must be to see if there is more, much more waiting at the bottom, so to speak, to quench and nourish you. Now draw up the bucket confidently, and find there it is. You drink deeply from the ladle and say, “Now I am quenched. I can do what I want to do, came to do.” You are restored. Just as those who thirst can go on when they have received drink, so when you are filled again, you can go out and on with your life. [Read more…] about Being Confident
