Lack of Self-confidence - accept your Identity - 27 Jan 08

Swami Ji

We were in Mindelheim for healings today for the last time. One healing touched me today although it really is a typical western problem. A man, drenched in tears, told me how the partner left after years of relationship, in spite of the feeling that this is 'the one' and in spite of the plans to move to another country together.
Eira, our nice host from Finland, didn't even want to let us go, so much did she enjoy having us there. We took some photos as memories and made some plans to go to Finland together as her sister had invited us to come. That would be my first visit to Finland.
I meet so many people from all over the world with many different problems. One widespread problem is lack of self-confidence. The root of this problem is in the topic of the last two days: You have to accept yourself! Like I said the other day: We are not sure about our real feelings. We cannot express ourselves confidently because we are not at all sure about what we are saying. But please don't start or go on living a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you will not accept your own soul. There will always be this controversy inside you. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.

I think confidence and identity are things we work on our whole lives. As we grow and change, we continue to adjust our sense of identity and our confidence in that. We should treat it as a journey of self-discovery rather than something to achieve. It is a life long process that we can embrace.

Identity is such a tricky word. what makes it? Where is it located?

Reply By Tanya on November 06, 2010 03:32


It is sad to hear of this man losing "the one" even though I do believe there are many people out there who could be "the one" for any person. I know how earth-shattering it is for things like that not to work. I feel very bad for this man too. :(

Words of Wisdom

  • Prejudice

    Keep an open mind and don't decide how something will be before it happens. In this way you keep yourself from having fun and being happy. Let it happen and then decide. It is more fun!

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    You are the creator of your world. If you want to make yourself small, you can, but you can also realize your strength and see that we are all human, all the same. There is one love and one god for all of us.

    Source
  • Trust

    I trust you' is more valuable than 'I love you'.

    Source
  • Trust

    When you trust someone, it has to be blind trust. Either you trust or you don't. There is nothing in between, it is always hundred percent.

    Source
  • Spiritual

    Find your meaning of life and be happy. That is what I call spirituality.

    Source
  • God

    Karma and God cannot work together! If you give God the responsibility for good things, how can you blame Karma for the bad ones? Would God not be responsible for good and bad as well as for all your Karma?

    Source
  • Beauty

    Why do you strive to look the opposite of how you look like? Be yourself and love who you are. Love comes from inside, from the heart and from the soul.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    Get the self-confidence to get out of the habits of comparing and pretending to be someone else. Love yourself, as you are. Accept whoever you are, respect your feelings of what you want to do and what you don’t want to do and love! Then your mind will be free from the worry and you will realize that others do love you as you are.

    Source
  • Belief

    It is not necessary to believe in the truth for it to be real. Fire for example will burn, if you believe it or not.

    Source
  • God

    God doesn’t want to own a house or a temple, he is just there, living in our heart. It is the greed of people who want to own land – and if they can possess it on the name of God, they do.

    Source
  • Acceptance

    Please don't live with a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you do not accept your own soul. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.

    Source
  • Change

    Places and times change and we need to keep our mind flexible so that we can leave old rules and traditions behind.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!

    Source
  • Money

    If you generously spend money for your happiness, donate something for the happiness of others, too! Don’t only give your blessings but actually make a difference! Wealth requires Sensitivity!

    Source
  • Experience

    If you make relationships and break up after one week, I call it experience, not love. It is your search, looking for love. So many people can come and go, an ongoing process until you find love. But love never finishes.

    Source
  • Sex

    If someone rapes a girl, how come her honour is gone? It should be the other way around! He loses his honour by doing this crime!

    Source
  • Enlightenment

    There is no moment in life in which a light is switched on, like a bulb, and from then on you are an enlightened being that can give enlightenment to others, switching on their inner light bulbs with just a little trick.

    Source
  • Prediction

    Human is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.

    Source
  • Religion

    Not every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.

    Source
  • Personal

    It is good to unfriend or block those who don’t have friendly feelings for you because each time they read any of your posts, they get more annoyed and angry. Save them from anger and bad feelings, don’t spoil their mood and day. Indeed, it is a good deed. :)
