Believe in yourself, and trust yourself
Until you are willing to believe in yourself, until you start trusting yourself.
Believing in yourself doesn’t need to rely on anything, trusting yourself requires having faith in yourself.
Believing in yourself is a state of calmness, trusting yourself is a continuous upward state.
Believing in yourself doesn’t need to be based on anything, nor does it require specific expectations. It seems simple, but it’s often not easy to believe in yourself because of its simplicity. Believing in yourself isn’t conceptualizing it, it’s a natural process. Only when we believe in ourselves can we naturally do things. It depends on whether we’re willing or not.
Believing in yourself is just allowing things to happen naturally, developing and changing according to natural laws. It’s about connecting the relationships between people and things with the natural energy. When a person does something, by believing in themselves, they believe that this thing will happen for them. Believing in yourself doesn’t require the ability to do something well, it’s just the desire to do it.
Because of the desire, they just go ahead and do things. But believing means they default to being able to do this thing, and they don’t need to struggle with self-evaluation, doubt, and other negative factors that can easily invade the inner world. This can lead to the common saying “overthinking.”
Believing in yourself is a simple thing. It doesn’t depend on whether a person is outstanding, whether they’ve had past successful experiences, or relevant experience. It’s just about wanting to do something, so believing in yourself is just the starting point. Belief is a sincere heart.
Believing in yourself, starting to do something, naturally, and completing it in a natural, effortless way. Maybe things won’t go smoothly, but simply because of belief, they accept it, then continue to do it, no longer concerned with any questioning voices. It’s just silently acknowledging that they should continue to do it this way. It’s that simple, but not easy.
Believing in yourself is also about just being yourself, facing and accepting what’s happening in the present, whether it’s people or things, just going with the flow, facing it naturally and calmly, welcoming what’s about to happen. Believing in yourself is actually facing and accepting your true self, and therefore facing and accepting people and things.
Your true self inherently has the wisdom and energy to be at ease, and believing in oneself to face and accept this is part of growth. Developing your true self, daring to face more and challenge more, is an aspiration for self-realization. Developing your true self is actually a responsibility for everyone who aspires to self-realize. This requires us to have trust in ourselves.
Trust is belief followed by responsibility. If belief is an attitude, then trust is taking responsibility.
Trusting yourself is a direction towards higher growth, not just accepting and facing the present, it’s about our higher and deeper development requirements.
Usually, we tend to trust others, and we rarely mention trusting ourselves. We’re also hardly aware that we need to trust ourselves, and we don’t realize that trust needs to be committed to ourselves.
Trust, in its definition, means to believe and appoint. In most cases, we tend to use trust for others, attaching importance to whether a person is trustworthy before entrusting them.
In my opinion, every person actually needs to trust themselves more. Trusting yourself, entrusting yourself, we need a continuous upward state of trust. Trust, in my understanding, also has this interpretation: trust is believing in yourself and appointing yourself.
When we have always felt accustomed or numb or anxious about ourselves year after year, and we are not satisfied with the current situation, hoping to truly become ourselves, to achieve something and develop ourselves… these are all growth issues, and this is exactly where we need to trust ourselves, and take responsibility for ourselves. All the burdens related to ourselves need to be boldly shouldered.
Trust is believing in yourself and taking responsibility for yourself. Taking responsibility for yourself actually points to a self-realized self, and at the same time, to a self you can entrust, and a self that can be entrusted. There is a connection between the two, and it has an important and relevant relationship.
Taking responsibility for yourself doesn’t mean being willful or making no demands of yourself. On the contrary, in order to become who you want to be, to approach the person you want to become, we need to take on a lot.
We need to take on the “growth debts” caused by immaturity and low cognition. We need to make up for past mistakes, to reevaluate growth, to adjust our pace of growth, and to enhance our cognition. We need to take on the problems caused by past ignorance, which put us in a predicament, and we need to bear the pain and struggle, breakthrough these local issues in experience, and learn and grow.
We need to take on the pressure and hard work that come from wanting to do more for ourselves. We need to face and plan, to continue and maintain our original intentions, to follow our growth, and form our own system. We need to take on the double cost of abandonment caused by giving up halfway, and bear the anxiety and restlessness, and continue our daily actions in experience, and grow.
We need to take on everything that can help us become ourselves.
Trusting yourself, believing, and taking responsibility.
This is a continuous upward state, as always, it’s a growth issue.
Until you are willing to believe in yourself, until you start trusting yourself.
Believe in yourself, and trusting yourself doesn’t need to rely on anything, but it does require having faith in yourself.
