Identifiers – Blog No. 10

identifiers

The way you go about your daily business identifies for you who you are.  The nuances in your behaviour are clear indicators of how it is to be you, and why it is that you bother.  There is always a reason to bother being yourself.  As we have heard countless times before, there is no one that can do that better than you can.  It can be interesting at times to watch other people try.  It can be extremely irritating, too, especially when they will perpetually fuck it up.  Once you have identified your true self you will not need to put up with pretence.  Not from yourself, and not from others.

There are those in our midst that are trained identifiers.  That means they have learned how to see what is in front of their eyes.  It would make sense as an identifier to trust your first instincts.  They are usually the right ones.  It also makes sense to identify a positive rather than a negative.  Like it is preferable to meet the truth in a person than it is to make excuses about the lies they use to conceal their real.  What on earth is the point of dealing with what is unreal?

When you find that you can accurately identify your every aspect – and for some people that takes a very long time – you will find the ‘inner peace’ that you seek.  Until you have identified and accepted your entire being, your past misdeeds and concealments, your basic building blocks – that ‘peace’ will seem to elude you.  You can chase peace around in circles for eternity – it is notoriously skittish.  If you cannot take on board everything that you are, we are, then there can be no real peace on this planet.  If peace is contrived, it is not authentic – and then calling it ‘peace’ is pointless.  What does a word mean if it has no substance?  Until you show unconditional love for yourself, your fellow earthlings and the vast expanse that is our collective unconscious, peace will forever be one step ahead of our efforts.

Confidence, and No Confidence – Blog No. 8

confidence-vs-arrogance-entrepreneur-chart

An important initial distinction to make is the difference between confidence and esteem. They are not the same thing. ‘No confidence’ suggests that there is a courage lacking in a person’s actions, a lack of belief in what a person is capable of doing – and by rights – should do, but doesn’t. Confidence – understandably – is the currency of politics, of scam-artists and esteemed liars. Also, it is the medium used by those who are certain about what what they want, and know that they can achieve it. Confidence is not arrogance, that is another story in itself.

Esteem is more personal, perhaps more fragile than confidence itself, is. Esteem is what affords an individual success, real success. This is because it is authentic – it cannot be manufactured or conjured up at will. In other words, it is a purely natural state of being. Esteem exists where a person is familiar with themselves and their purpose, and both the knowledge thereof – and the understanding – fills them with peace. That peace cannot be bought at any cost. Confidence is at times no more than a means to an end. Esteem has more integrity.

No confidence usually stems from a dented ego. Or damaged pride. This can be repaired in due course with the correct ministrations. Low self-esteem happens to persons who are failing in their focus, their purpose. It is not possible to have high self-esteem when you are not in a position to fulfil your reason(s) for being. If you consider that three quarters of this planet’s populace cannot currently fulfil their true reason(s) for being, you will understand why this earth is in the dire straights that it is.
