“At
the center of your being
you have the answer;
you know who
you are
and you know what you want.”

Finding
Your Inner Magic Through the Power of Self-Belief
By
Christine Evangelou - August 30, 2017
Our
mind is like the creative coordinator behind the inception of our
dreams and aspirations. The direction that we place behind our
thoughts and corresponding beliefs can either envelop us in anxiety
and fear or propel us to great heights.
Our
mind is truly magical when we believe in its power as a tool for
manifesting our purpose and intention. Our ego gets a bad rap, and is
often viewed as our enemy within. But we should not combat our ego’s
processes or think of our ego as an entity in itself; this only
serves to enhance a battle mode mentality that further undermines our
journey to our greater goals. Our mind, our ego, is just another part
of our inner brilliance. When we come to an enlightened understanding
of our ego, we naturally give way to a higher state of thinking. When
we open that space of awareness, we learn to love the power and
beauty of our minds, and to draw all the benefits it has to offer us.
Finding
Your Inner Magic Through the Power of Self-Belief
As
you think, so shall you become. Bruce Lee
We
are the creators of what we think and feel; if we can nourish a
limiting thought or belief, then we can just as easily do the same
for a non-limiting one. If we can build walls in our mind that
obstruct our progress, then we can definitely knock them down. We are
all gifted with the innate power to attract our deepest desires into
our physical space — we only need to believe that we can.
Self-doubt
is a silent serpent that creeps into the patterns of our thinking and
eats away at our self-belief. The miracle and magnitude of our soul
does not contain self-doubt. We are the ones that open a door for it
to walk through.
Through
mindfulness and moments of introspection we can sift through the
intricacies of our thoughts, distinguishing what takes us toward our
contentment from what moves us away from it. The decision is always
ours.
Our
minds are the home of our rational thinking, but they are also the
birthplace of our full and unfiltered imagination. Essentially we
need both, yet our imagination is stifled by rationality and logic.
Our imagination needs freedom in order to see the true wonder of what
could be. Our logical thinking looks for the guarantee, yet creative
thinking searches for the boundless beauty of possibility.
We
can only bring into our sphere what we put the power of our intention
behind, like a rocket that needs that big burst of fuel to lift it
off the ground. When we believe in the magic of possibility a whole
new world presents itself to us: borders dissolve, barriers come
crashing down, and we catch a fierce glimpse of limitlessness and
expansion. A child’s eyes untouched by the reality we find
ourselves in have the ability to grasp the realm of imagination and
all its gifts. When we can look at life through the lens of our inner
child, everything is possible.
Boosting
self-belief and inner confidence
You
must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave; find your
eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities
and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no
other life but this.
– Henry
David Thoreau
Our
self-belief and inner confidence take a battering through what we
deem as failure and not quite hitting the mark. When we feed into
these thoughts we provide them with a stronger foundation to keep
knocking us off our feet and keeping us down when we inherently know
that we can take flight. When we fall, we need to defiantly get back
up. When we stumble, we need to draw upon our inner resilience and
pull ourselves up to balance. How we rise is more meaningful than how
we actually fall. How we deal with everything, is everything.
If
we allow our mindset to remain locked on our failures, we lose every
second of chance and magic that the present moment holds. We have
programmed ourselves to fear loss and making mistakes, yet the
greatest loss arising from a lack of self-belief is the cost to
ourselves. Self-belief is a key to the entry-door of our highest
potential, and we own that master key.
Our
inner magic and making our mark
From
my own experience, I want to say that you should follow your heart,
and the mind will follow you. Believe in yourself, and you will
create miracles.
– Kailash
Satyarthi
Our
heart pumps our truth and authenticity. It never gives false hope.
When we can adjust our thoughts to align them with the promise and
ingenuity of our heart, then we heighten our magnanimous intellectual
and intuitive processes. As human beings there is nothing that
separates us. We all have the infinite ability to create, conceive
brave new ideas, and design our lives around making our earthly mark
as individuals. We are the architects of all that we seek to inspire
and nurture.
Our
ego processes that cage us in can lead us away from our inner magic;
our center of love and exquisite connection. How can we begin to even
imagine our greatest potential unless we believe that it exists
within us all? The vastness of our own infinite magic is something
that only we can access and fully explore. Our thoughts and beliefs
are our instruments for permeating what lies within. When we change
our thoughts we can create another reality. Our mind should not
eclipse our heart, for together they form our own unique synergy.
The
very same subtlety, omnipresence and mystery that surround us are
intrinsically woven in to all we are. The flowers that bloom, the
trees that rise to their full might, and the birds that take flight
in freedom-filled skies never deny their ability to share and present
their gifts. Sitting within our body and soul are the remnants of
stars as old as our universe — who are we to deny our own supreme
magic?
