Dear Ones,
Confidence. What does that word bring up for you? Do you feel confident in Life? Do you feel confident in your abilities in one area of your life but not in another? Do you worry that you are inadequate in all areas of life or do you compare yourself to others and feel that they are all better than you are?
We wish to give you a new definition of ‘confidence.’ Confidence is not feeling that you know everything you can about a situation, skill or circumstance. It is especially not about knowing everything you can about another person. Rather, Confidence is an awareness that you are doing the best you can in any given moment. True Confidence comes from BEING the person you incarnated on Planet Earth to BE. It really has nothing to do with what you are doing or how well you are being judged, or judging yourself, on your performance at a task.
When you have this kind of True Confidence in yourself, you see yourself as a part of the unfolding plan within an unfolding Universe and your consciousness is about your place in that plan. Confidence rests on the level of consciousness that you bring to a situation. Your awareness of your Life Purpose and your commitment to living that purpose bring you the confidence that you need to excel at being YOU. How well do you know YOU and who you came to Earth to BE?
Those who appear to you to have immense stores of confidence may be covering up feelings of inadequacy with a public bravado that has no relationship to their actual level of confidence or ability. Stop comparing yourself to them. It really doesn’t matter to you and your living your own Life Purpose whether they are committed to living their purpose. Their outward appearance of an apparent level of confidence really has no bearing on you and your level of confidence so stop giving it any importance.
Be confident that you are the best YOU you can be in this present moment. If you are facing a challenge, look for the lesson. If you are feeling good about yourself, then feel good. If you are feeling less than confident, then think about a time when you felt confident in the past and remember that feeling. If you are unsure about your Life Purpose, then get some help in figuring that out for yourself.
The Plan is unfolding. The Universe is working things out so that everyone can have all the resources they need to fulfill the Life Purpose they incarnated on Earth to live. Your only job is to continue to grow in consciousness, in awareness. To be committed to your own personal growth. To show up and support others in their own personal growth, even if they are making choices that you feel are not the best for them.
Be who you came to Earth to be and allow others the space to do the same. Go confidently into your day, each day, knowing that you, and everyone else, are doing the best you can with the resources you have at any given moment.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Conscious Confidence for the Present Moment
February 29, 2012 — RosemaryConfidence can be such a difficult quality to develop. I can be confident in my ability to create a delicious dinner and yet lack the confidence required to get up on a horse and ride a trail. You might be confident in a one-on-one conversation and yet lack the confidence to feel comfortable speaking in front of 1,000-member audience. So what is the confidence we are feeling or not feeling?
When ‘confidence’ is really just an assurance that we are committed to living our Life Purpose in this lifetime on this Planet Earth, then we can relax and our only work is this commitment. Whew! That takes the heat off of us, doesn’t it? I mean, what if I know I am being the person I was born to BE, even if I’m not the best or most accomplished or most experienced at something I am trying to DO? Isn’t that the consciousness that we need to develop? Isn’t that how we can learn to feel confident?
I learned a long time ago that showing up to the present moment is the most important aspect of feeling confident. Even if I feel nervous or tentative about attempting something, I can gain confidence from the knowledge that I am doing the best I can and I can trust that everything will work out as it should. This comes from trusting in the unfolding plan of the Universe.
Trust is the key word here. Do you trust that the Universe has a plan that is unfolding as it should? Do you trust that you have a part in that plan and that your intuition is your connection to it? Have you learned to trust your intuition?
Each of us has a role to play in the story of the Earth as it is developing around us. The people around us are all players in the same story, whether we or they know it or not. Your soul agreed with mine before we were born that we would ‘play’ in this sandbox called Earth at the same time in some way. I trust that this agreement holds and that I am doing my best to fulfill my part. I commit to living the Life Purpose my soul told yours I would live before we started this time on Earth. By raising my own consciousness I’ve become aware of the greater plan and it’s unfolding on Earth in these days.
Are you working to expand your awareness of the great development called Human Evolution? This is about the evolution of consciousness, not about growing beyond tails and webbed feet! Personal growth work becomes the avenue to expanded consciousness and, thus, a commitment to your own personal growth benefits all of humanity.
And confidence comes from knowing that this grand scheme of ever-evolving consciousness includes you and who you are becoming at each step of the way. Trust that you are okay, that you are doing the best you can. Trust that your own intuition and inner guidance are leading you in the path of conscious evolution. Be confident in sharing who you are, right now, in this moment, with others, for that is the soul agreement that you entered into with them before birth. They and you agreed that you would be just that, the ‘who’ you came here to be, and that that was just enough for them in this moment.
Congratulations! Go confidently into your next moments!
