Experts might argue whether confident people are born or made. The answer is obvious to me. I believe that inner self-trust, resilience, natural confidence, and strength are the traits that people are born with. This is especially evident when we learn how to walk: each of us had proved that seed of inner power, persistence, and courage, otherwise, we would have never gotten up again.
This type of confidence is not something that some are fortunate enough to be born with, and others can never achieve. Experts might argue whether confident people are born or made. The answer is obvious to me.
We are born with the self-trust in our ability to navigate the ups and downs of life’s journey with ease while contributing to wellbeing in life. –NELL PUETTER
The very act of being born, working our way out of a narrow passage to achieve freedom, proves we are hard-wired with self-trust that we can improve our situations. Something magical and powerful is definitely within us and wants us to live, and so we come howling into the world.
As babies, we knew when to accept the circumstances and received help when needed. I believe that inner self-trust, resilience, and strength are the traits that people are born with.
This is especially evident when we learn how to walk: each of us had proved that seed of inner power, persistence, and courage, otherwise, we would have never gotten up again.
As everyone arrives here on the planet with a certain set of abilities, connections, talents, gifts, and potential, I believe that the Higher Powers have a purpose for you. And that is what makes all the meaning. Being you and living your purpose means being authentic.
So are you courageous to be authentic? Because the sooner you stop trying to be all things that don’t resonate with you, the sooner you stop being concerned about other people’s opinions, the sooner you stop being worried about saying your truth, the sooner you will start living your purpose in delivering an authentic, passionate, and inspiring contribution to the wellbeing of people around you and beyond.
Living your life from the place of innate self-trust
No one is immune to the difficulties of life, and it is natural for people to make mistakes, as this is how we learn and grow. Our sense of true innate self-trust gets tested under scrutiny when we face a tough time.
The unexpected transition phase, loss of a loved one, a rough break-up, Coronavirus, or job challenges may shatter our sense of confidence and self-worth. In today’s fast-paced world, we experience significant challenges, distractions, pressures & unexpected changes.
The ability to maintain calmness, focus, balance, and wellbeing amidst these distractions & complexities is an imperative life skill.
Living your life from the place of self-trust, clarity, calmness, resilience and emotional stability has an impact not only on your confidence but also on your relationships, health, wealth, success, and most importantly, your sense of happiness and purpose-driven life.
This powerful sense of innate self-trust is one of the most important elements that greatly impacts taking courageous actions and designing your life. When you trust yourself, it is much easier for you to decide what suits you and what doesn’t. You can move forward with that choice because you know from within that you can handle any challenging situation in life and have faith in your inherent right to be prosperous and happy.
Living your life from the place of innate self-trust and acceptance means that you are clear about what you want; you are calm about the steps you take, and you also know that you can always count on yourself in any circumstance.
Living your life from the place of innate self-trust means you are not dependent on anyone telling you what to do. People’s opinions don’t throw you off balance as long as you have trust in yourself. Your thoughts are clear, your mind chatter is calm, and you can take bold action towards your self-growth, manifesting the life you envision.
Living your life from the place of self-trust, however, does not mean that you will execute perfection in every field. Accepting yourself with all good and pain means also accepting and embracing your imperfections.
And I know there are times it is easier said than done. Because having self-trust does not always mean that you are going to be 100% perfect or right. More often, it’s just about believing in yourself that “I can handle this situation even when everything goes wrong.”
Living your life from the place of innate self-trust means you know who you are. You are ok with being yourself. It is easy for you to decide what is congruent with your highest values. When you trust yourself, you are aware of your actions and choices. You are authentic and clear about the things which are important to you and can set boundaries about things you cannot bear. It gets easy for you to make choices for yourself, with no one bringing confusion into your life.
Living your life from the place of innate self-trust means you can learn from criticism and take it as constructive suggestions. You act maturely when people give their feedback and can connect with others in a productive manner. You can differentiate and don’t take their criticism to heart as you notice that the other person is approaching the matter from a different perspective. When you believe in yourself, it doesn’t really matter what other people think or say about you. And there is no need to explain or protect yourself because when you have this knowing within, the criticism of others is not a danger, but simply a different opinion.
When you experience an innate self-trust, you are in your power, knowing what you stand for, learning from the point of growth, rather than perceived flaws or lack of something.
Once you start experiencing this sense of innate self-trust coming from within, you will begin taking the right actions that are in sync with your values and with who you are.
When all your Parts are aligned and truly integrated it is easy to be focused, creative, calm, and confident as you move with your whole being in one direction towards your goal,
without wasting precious time and energy on battling with yourself, self-doubts, self-criticism,
without the feeling of being torn apart by contradictory desires, beliefs, or the opinions of others and
without constantly overwhelming yourself and those around you.
Some spiritual teachers say: “If you had a childhood, then you have been affected. The question is just one of intensity.”
And the truth is, none of us is born with insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. You weren’t born that way, you just learned this coping tactic during a particular challenge in the past, but it does not serve you anymore. In fact, it is now hindering your happiness.
You may not even be aware of it, but if you pay attention, it may express itself in your life in other ways, through health problems, addictions, procrastination, self-sabotage, confusion, and so on…
According to entrepreneur and bestselling author Tony Robbins says that success is achieved through a plan that is 80 percent psychological and 20 percent strategic.
How you handle those plateaus, psychologically, will determine whether you remain stalled there forever and your company ends up in the graveyard.
If you find yourself facing psychological mental traps — deal with them, and you’ll have a chance of making it success and on the other side. Take charge of your energy, and leadership potential. It’s time to embark on a journey of inner master—at work, at home, and beyond.
