Believing in "The" self..

You must
believe in something.

Our generation, teaches us that we must believe in something, outside of ourselves in order to be an achieving individual. An individual that is able to understand his or her self, an individual that is accomplished and self less.Although, believing in someone higher than ourselves is great. This mindset is created to take us believe that we are “better” or will be once we complete a list of actions. I was at a oncert recently, while being there it dawned on me that our outer expression of life through our talent is happens as a benefit to ourselves. As we are doing what we naturally love to do, we bless urselves as well as those around us. We feel fulfilled to be doing what we know we have been put on earth for. As I heard the singer sing, the audience was mesmerized, members of the audience even grabbed the singer’s attention.

The singer went on to hold some audience members hands, while smiling at others. As the singer began to sing, it made me think of how wonderful of a gift the singer expressed. I thought WOW! “This singer is singing from the depth of his being.” But what does that mean “being”? We use terms that we often look past or simply don’t fully understand. The terms often sound good as they are describing something we mean but what are we really saying. This means that the vocalist sang from a place of passion and of surrender. It was clear that the vocalist was in touch with greatness.

Greatness is nothing outside of you. Greatness however resides on the inside. Greatness expressed is the God like character expressing itself through you. Benjamin Disreali said best when he said, "Man is only, truly great when he acts from his passions." Being able to express greatness through one’s passions is a wonderful gift he gives to mankind. Living our best life, begins when we acknowledge the greatness within us. Acknowledging the “presence within” is the same as acknowledging the Christ within. The presence may manifest as a gift at times but it is ultimately the Ideal Man; the Real Self. We know this to be true because the holy scriptures
tell us to worship Him and Spirit and in Truth. We can only complete these two acts by way of the world within.
