Once you raise your self esteem, if done thoroughly, you experience
life flowing.
A translation by J.H. McDonald of chapter 2 of Tao Te Ching says...
Things come her way and she does not
stop them; Things leave and she
lets them go. She has without
possessing, and acts without
expectations. When her work is done
she takes no credit.
Once you begin to transcend the illusion of being an isolated, separate
object and feel and know that you are not...
a certain way
separate
completely in control
doing something wrong
then it becomes pointless worrying about...
things that you don't have
what other people think of you
what you should be doing
If you could pretend right now that everything that you thought to be
true about your life and yourself was part of a larger plan to help you
do something magnificent at a later time, would that make more sense?
If you could trust the intelligence of what has you aware of yourself,
and trust that this power, force, potential, ability, creator call it
what you will, is actually who you are in essence, you could let go of
trying to work out with your rational mind why things happen, why
things don't happen, why this and why that.
Some people like to feel in control of their lives and they don't have
much internal turmoil. They are probably quite content with their
life experience most of the time. If you have much internal
turmoil and angst it would indicate to me that there are memories
within your nervous system which have not yet been processed and let go of.
Either that or your attitude and beliefs about what life is are so far
removed from reality that life is a traumatic experience for you.
What does all this have to do with boosting self esteem? Well,
self esteem is not a thing that you develop like a muscle. You
cannot think of self esteem as a thing you have. You cannot
develop more of it specifically.
To raise your self esteem you simply need to know the truth of what self
is. There are two selfs. One we write with a small 's' and
means the ego or illusion of who you think you are. The big 'S'
Self means the essential, spiritual, real, authentic you.
The one you were born as, the one who is unique and unknown. Once
you turn your attention inwards to the feeling of being aware and
curious about who and what that is, you start to get to know the real
you, the real Self.
So in order to experience overcoming low self esteem know the real
you, the big 'S' Self. The big 'S' Self thinks that it is pretty
AMAZING. The big 'S' Self loves itself and knowing that this is who
you are is how you raise your self esteem.
