Confidence vs Ego

Whenever it's time for me to write a new Blog Post, I always have so many things on my mind and heart that I have to be discerning as to what is needed to be brought forward at the moment.  So... I sit back and ask and sit with it until something pops into my forefront awareness.

This time it was Confidence vs Ego ... an interesting topic to say the least.

I am finding there is a confusion between the two and what they actually mean and bring forward for each of us.  I see and here people afraid to step into the Power because of the Ego component.

We have been so brain-washed and geared that to be our authentic self within Confidence is bad.
1. Don't toot your own horn.
2. Don't Apologize for everything.
3. and on and on.....

I'm saying ... Toot your Horn!  Let people know who you are and what you excel in!  What do you bring to the table in all aspects of your life.  I challenge you to write a Spiritual Resume as if you were applying to the Cosmic Council of Light. Let them know who you are and where you shine!

Stop apologizing for every little thing!  You are not guilty of anything except being human.
Does the aspect of the need for apology come up? Of course! But, only when you have done something directed at another... when you can identify what it is you are apologizing about.

How to test if you are in a Place of Confidence or if you are in a Place of Ego?
Ask yourself this simple question: Is what I am doing and/or part of all about me me me? Or is what I am doing within the intent of that which is greater than me, that serves the all concerned?

Ego is Self-Serving. | Confidence is All-Serving.

This is the distinct difference.

It's The Magician in Tarot.

This person is connected to the As Above/So Below.
This person is confidence in what they bring to our world. They know who they are and how to utilize what they know & have available.

They are the person we all want in our world when we need assistance.

Do you want to go to a healer and/or reader who is not confident?

Reverse the Card and The Magician becomes intolerable in his skills. This person becomes egotistical and self-serving, to the point where harm could manifest because of severed connection to Spirit.

Is there a fine line here? Of course.
The Awakened Person Understands the Wisdom of both aspects.


Ego protects us in many ways but, can take over if we allow it to.  When we move to enlightenment, we move past the need for Ego to be a driving factor. At this point, we have become friends with Ego and have developed an understanding for what it offers and what it can't. We have the authority to thank Ego for its service and to ask it to ride in the back seat or better yet, tucked away in the trunk.

Confidence can do nothing but emerge as we step into our Purpose and further into our Divinity. Welcome this confidence and pat yourself on the back when it comes forward. This is the reward for your hard work in obtaining the advantage of *seeing* your Worthiness & Value.

Does a diamond apologize even if it's small? Of course not because it is still a diamond and holds the vibration of Brilliance!

You are a Diamond and you are Brilliant. Identify your Brilliance and make friends with it.  Hang out with your Brilliance and allow it to embrace & infiltrate your being!  See yourself as the Beautiful Creation of Light that you are. You are a Cell within the Body of the Creator Spirit. Stand tall in this and BE Confident!

What is my business?

Image
I recently saw it asked on Facebook, "What is your business?"  and "What do you think my business is"?  This got me to thinking about my business and if people know what my business actually is.  I know a lot of us, including me, that are working to 'brand' our business are out there working feverishly but... are we letting people know what our business is, who we are and what we are about.  I'm not sure, but I am sure we are missing many in not explaining all of this in better detail. I love the 4 Agreements and one of them is to not make assumptions. I think we all need to ask ourselves if we are assuming others know who we are and what we are working to bring into this world that radiates out to the world(s) in consciousness. Sometimes, this gets so woo woo that we loose a LOT of people when if we just took the time to explain a bit more, I am shown there would be less confusion. Regarding my business and what it is takes me to begi

Mothers & Daughters

The relationship between mothers and daughters is beautiful and at the same time so very complicated. Who knows why? The relationship between me and my mother has always been challenging.  She has had so many expectations and I have been the total opposite of everything she ever thought her 1st daughter would be. This is neither good or bad - just different. It has been difficult because she can't begin to fathom who and what I am and at the same time difficult for me in that I have always had such a deep desire for you to just try.  It does seem that I am so far away from the foundation of who she is that she just hasn't been able to try. Honestly, she would just like to change me to be more like her in belief, lifestyle, etc. My mom recently had a pretty devastating stroke.  She can still think and talk. The part of her brain that was affected has created a scenario where she has problems walking. You have to understand that my mom has never been still for long. She has

What does it all mean?

My mother always has said to me, "Tami, you are and have always been searching." And, she has always been absolutely right! For a long time though, I didn't know exactly what I was searching for but I knew it was something extraordinarily deep... something I really couldn't put my finger on. Through a process of experience and time, I am coming to an understanding of the wisdom I have always sought. I have found it has always been there ... inside of ME! In the past, I had considered this to be external something I had to literally "find". Then to "find" it has always been there has been a true eye opener.  This moved me past the understanding of trust and belief to a deep Knowing.  To me, this is Gnosis ... the Knowing. This has been a long and arduous journey of coming to terms with this concept. I have always said I was and am a teacher. Interesting, that in my family ... there is a long line of teachers and teacher energy. I didn
