To believe in yourself is to never abandon your flawed self.
It is not about believing in your excellence or your strength.
You do not know everything about who you are.
The “me” that I think I am does not reflect the full reality of my “here and now.” Therefore, the self that suffers from a lack of confidence is not your true self.
So, there is no need to push yourself to look bigger than you are.
Even without confidence, even if you are not prepared?
If the idea has come to you, it means you are ready beyond your conscious awareness.
That is why, precisely because you lack confidence, precisely because you are afraid, the challenge of taking a step forward becomes vital.
With one courageous step, a great process begins to move.
Unexpected encounters, chance opportunities, accidental changes… From the moment you take that step from which there is no turning back, your relationship with the world quietly begins to shift.
Surely, you will feel a great current supporting you, and you will realize that the way you see the world is changing.
The self that I think I am right now is called the “Ego.”
The Ego is the self that tries to mold our vast, complex, contradictory, immensely grand, immensely sinful, and elusive nature into the framework of human relationships.
That is why the Ego is the self that fights within society.
It is the self that struggles with all its might, covered in wounds, amidst things it cannot control, both inside and out.
But the truth is, the Ego knows nothing.
Both within and without, there are truths hidden that the Ego can never comprehend. Truth is far greater than any imagination?exquisite and filled with the miracles of life.
So, the Ego should be more humble.
So, the Ego should relax its shoulders.
Even when you doubt yourself, the self that is worthy of trust is surely breathing within you.
So, it is okay to be afraid. So, with trembling legs, it is okay to take a step forward.
That is exactly what makes your challenge so beautiful.
That is exactly why you earn the title of a hero.
The Truth will bless your courageous and magnificent step.
If you lack confidence, pretend that you have it.
Straighten your back, relax your shoulders, and look forward.
There is something that dwells within that beautiful form.
The Truth will not overlook such sincere “form.”
One day, you will come to realize that you have been loved more than you ever imagined.
