Thought for the day! When the of your depends on you, as the of the company, you need to dig deeper into the depths of your own unknowing, to identify the blind spots which can be costing you your best results. So, where does the compass for your Self- reside?
In the competitive marketplace of life, it has never been more important than now, to safely navigate the uncharted waters of popular opinion, and it's all too casual .
leads to Conscious and that starts with first recognising, that Your ! 😎
In this post millennial information age, when modern day self-appointed gurus seem to be a dime a dozen, where does your self confidence live? Is it invested in the unexamined external opinions of those who you casually deem to be worthy of judging your value?
In other words,
WHO DO YOU TRUST TO TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE?
When our equilibrium can be swayed by the good or bad opinions of others, we lock ourselves into a self-imposed imprisonment that depends on the validation of others for our very existence, and that’s never a good idea, either personally or professionally.
It has always amazed me, how many people will listen to the uncensored noise on the outside, instead of tuning into the innate wisdom of our own understanding, which is only ever a thought away, and which offers access to the authentic path of freedom, self-confidence, and self-acceptance.
Endless libraries of new age personal development books provide an unparalleled access to shelf-development nowadays, yet I wonder, has the impetus to seek solutions outside of ourselves led us to the promised land of self-love and confidence?
Rather, are they diversionary cul -de- sacs proffering solutions which fail to deliver, masquerading as that unattainable missing link, which keeps the desperate seeker continue seeking, as clever marketing strategies line the greedy pockets of our modern-day snake oil charmers.
Genuine Self-confidence is an inside job, and silence and quiet reflection bypass the unanswerable questions, which can otherwise unwittingly trap us in the vain attempt to source that illusionary needle in a haystack, which no one has ever found!
Choose whom you listen to with great care, as modern technology and the proprietary seduction of social media, can allow any puppet to appear as the puppet master.
Yet, when your theme music stops, and the final curtain comes down on the show of your life, you need to be sure that you can speak up for yourself, and that you first looked into the mirror of your own understanding, before pointing the camera lens of your projections onto any other.
In the timeless words of William Shakespeare………🎯
“This above all: to thine own Self be true, and it must follow,
As the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man”
Hamlet Act 1, Scene iii, lines 78-80
