Listening to the “Still Small Voice”
Friday, October 31st, 2008Do you go through times of “Self Doubt”? I do ALL the time!!
It seems like I will feel good about myself for a day or two and then all these thoughts come into my mind about what a “Looser” I am and what I have to offer, everyone else already knows so why bother and how I have screwed up my entire life etc. etc. I KNOW that this is my “Old Self” and “Old mindsets” from past programing. But when I am going through it, it is hard to remember that. I am however getting much better at it. :)
Well meaning people can cause these “Energy Stealing” thoughts to occur. What I am learning is: “Not to Compare Myself with Others“. We all have different talents, interests, and paths to walk in order to reach people that share our same interests. By comparing ourselves to others we are limiting God’s hand in guiding us along “Our Own Unique Path” in order to “Bless” the people he already knows we are capable of blessing.
I feel we need to have an open mind to receive constructive critisizim but we must learn and fine tune our “Wanting to Please God“ with “Seeking Approval of Others“. This is not an easy lesson to learn for some… it takes time alone to look within and become familiar with God’s Voice within and learning to place our concerns at the Cross knowing God will answer our prayers. Give yourself time and have patience with yourself, this is an area that so many people have problems with. There is so much pressure to be part of the “Mass” and to be “Accepted” and not to have a different Opinion or Concept that is is not already accepted by the majority.
I find myself in alot of “Alone Time” because I just refuse to “Conform“ to what Society deems “Acceptable“. Sometimes I get down on myself for this but I have to remember the old saying that ”It is Lonely at the Top” and being alone builds “Character” and God will build your Character before he opens doors and unleashes his power through you to reach the masses. So, with that in mind, I plan on posting my Enlightenments as they come to me and try not to hold back for FEAR of REJECTION.
