Self Confidence
Self-confidence is very much linked to the understanding that I definitely have
something to contribute to life through my own uniqueness. Each one of us is unique.
That goes without saying. Unless a person has a sense of contributing, or offering,
something to life, they cannot really be happy. I cannot be happy and confident
when I am just taking; it simply doesn't work. I can only be happy when I am sharing
and offering the best of myself. In that way, I don't feel depleted. When I offer
the best of myself in an unselfish way, my happiness and confidence increases -
the more I give, the more I receive. We start to understand that the well-being
of individuals begins when they can contribute what they are, and what they have,
to others. To be a truly self confident human being means to have true spiritual
powers, like love, peace and happiness, which are brought into daily life - not
just appearing as words or emotions, but truly displaying themselves in our behavior
and bringing benefit to others.

Message for the day 25-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Introversion enables us to experience progress.
Expression: When we are introverted we will be able to check ourselves and
progress. Introversion gives us the power to see our own mistake, however small
it might be. With the recognition of the mistake comes the power to bring about
a change in us and we find progress.
Experience: We must remind ourselves that with each mistake that happens,
we actually get a chance to learn. When something goes wrong we don't have to feel
disheartened, but take it as a learning for our future. This understanding gives
us the experience of constant progress whatever the circumstances might be.
