Confidence
“The first principle of the spiritual path is to have confidence in yourself. Without confidence, achievement does not come. Doubt is what opposes confidence. Once you eliminate the negative, you will see that the positive has already happened. When doubt clears, confidence is there. So to gain confidence, you must understand what doubt is.
If you observe the nature of doubt, it is always about something positive. You never doubt what is negative. You know this from your experience. You doubt someone who is honest, but you never doubt dishonesty. You doubt the goodness of other people, but you never doubt their bad qualities. If someone says, ?I love you very much,? you say, ?Really?? But if someone says, ? I hate you,? you never say, ?Do you really?? Understand you r doubt as questioning the positive and having confidence in the negative, and know that if you are having doubt, there must be something good present. Approached in this way, doubt gives you a means to move ahead. I am not telling you to drop your doubt. Doubt as much as you can! Give it your 100%. That will help you through it. Once you cross this barrier of doubt, then further progress comes.”
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Devote the day to bring the confidence in ourselves and in others.
A small change, create opportunities to do the above.
A Child tries to climb the wall encourage! [Believe he will climb it unhurt]
When Boss comes and gives you more work believe only great can recognize greatness!
When someone shows a boring face go tell them how beautiful their life is!
Do one thing you always wanted to do but never got the guts to do!
Like going in the road and roaring like lion or sheep!
I would definitely try a new stunt with my cycle!
Sankalpa
Today I am going bring out the Lion in me Meowwww!!!
Guru Namah
Jai Gurudev!
