What does it mean to believe in yourself? That depends upon which side of the mountain you woke up on this morning. Most of us wake up on the dark side. First thing in the morning, we start dreading and fretting and fearing and scheming. That’s the dark side. But there are no dark sides without bright sides.
You are the way around. You are the turning point out of darkness and into light eternal. It’s not the experience, it’s you who flips the concepts of experience from one side to the other. You may experience something inherently good, but then flip it and begin fretting about the drawbacks. You might also experience something inherently not so good, but then flip it and begin seeing benefit.
What’s the difference between being rich and poor? A state of mind makes that difference. What’s the difference between difficulty and ease? You are. You are the way through which the mindset can flip. That’s what it means to believe in yourself. You are the great traverser of all duality. You are the switch that can conceptualize the difference between conflict and resolution or between being lost and having a path. You are the master of concept, not the slave to it. If today you wake up on the dark side, you can sit a while, take a breath, and see the brightness of what you have now. You are the turnstile from enslavement to freedom. To face outwardly, you might see in four months all your money is gone. To face inwardly, you might see that today you have more than enough and are rich and free. You are the great re-conceptualizer, the difference-maker. You’re the about-face, the way, the truth, and the life of both sides. Believe in yourself to see light, the one who can spin miracles out of turning around a dark mindset.
