Confidence in Life
Do you have confidence in Life? Confidence that Life will do what it's supposed to do and take you where you are supposed to go? It's really interesting to think about.
Here's what I've discovered. All our fears are a sign of lack of confidence. All our fears - and anxieties and worries. The whole lot. It's all us saying we don't trust Life. We don't believe in Life, we don't have confidence in Life. I've also noticed that people have confidence in different areas and lack confidence in other areas. So it's not black and white. It's not either total confidence or total lack of confidence. But try noticing where you have confidence and where you don't.
Do you have confidence in your ability to attract money and pay your bills? Or is that a problem area for you? Do you have confidence in your health and your body and feel Life is a wonderful adventure for you to explore or do you worry constantly about your health? And what about your relationships and your ability to get along with other people? Do you have confidence that people will like you and trust you or what?
No matter what the area where you lack confidence, the cure is alway the same... looking at Life itself directly and understanding that if God is All and God is Good - that means that you will be taken care of. Maybe not in the way you think you "should" be taken care of or in the way you'd like to be taken care of... but if God is All and God is Good then there is a plan for you too... a perfect plan that is always taking you up higher. Can you see the ways?
If you are curious about the logic behind God is All and God is Good - you can find an explanation in my book Mental Technology (The 10 Mental Laws) in the second part of the book. The book is online free in my previous blog of June 12, 2007, but here's the link anyway....

Love ya!
Your opening was good. Had my interest for a moment...until I read the second half where everything just went downhill. The last thing I'd expect is to here you talk about god being with us.
I thought ith this blog, you can talk some shitty sense into people's lack of confidence, I guess I am wrong. Babara, don't take this personally, but honor me this and take this seriously. People lack confidence and believeing in god's faith is two different things. One is emotional and the other, spiritual.
People are facing a majority of emotional lack of confidence.
They lack it so bad it's as bad as puking diarrhea on rats.
People can believe in god, and believe so much that they can build that confidence, but that is as good as lying to themselves. True confidence is being able to choose to be, then learning the skills we want in order to move forward successfully with our own two hands with ease and greatness.
I'm not saying god is a lie. I just simply meant true confidence and power comes from self. My opinion even as a christian.

One of the 'skills' we need is the ability to let go - and trust the flow of life a little more... whether you call the flow 'GOD' 'the universe' or whatever - the message is the same...
What I understood from this blog is that by getting a little more connected to the flow of life - not fighting things or getting caught up in the fears - things become easier.
Our emotional selves and spiritual selves *are* one and the same - why else does a spiritual experience fill us up with love... overwhelm us?
Our 'selves' are not seperate.. our logic, senses, spirituality are all part of our selves and all connected.. being so caught up in the day to day and *forgetting* that we are a part of something bigger leads to lack of confidence, to fear...
Enjoyed the post, enjoying the blog, thanks for giving your time and thoughts :)
