How to Trust in Your Self

Sometimes one's faith in the oneself may become questionable. It has the potential to happen regardless of the spirituality that abounds within. I have learned to not take everything to heart. I have further learned that if there is something to worry about, if God is allowed to guide the solution to the problem, worry and doubt will flee.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Trust in God
• Fortitude

1. First, you must trust in yourself. If you know that you try to be honest, don't let others down, and like to see others happy as well as be happy yourself, then it is reasonable for you to expect the same of others. On the other hand, if you intentionally mislead people, break promises, and seek to not follow the Golden Rule, it is reasonable to expect others to doubt you thus creating room for doubt within yourself. By you continuously doing the right thing, there is no room for failure which can lead to mistrust in oneself.
2. You cannot look for reasons to mistrust yourself. There is an old saying that goes if you look for something long enough, you will find it. I would put a spin on that to say that you may find a semblance of it. I am a firm believer that the Creator will do what He is supposed to do. God will show you.
3. Do not allow others' perceptions to sway your trust in yourself. If you ask advice from someone regarding you, they will try to give it to you. They may also then begin to feel that they have become the resident expert on you while possibly failing miserably at their own attempts of increasing their self-esteem. If there is a perplexing issue, you must talk with God first. He will then lead you to your answer.

Tips & Warnings

• Seek God first whenever there is an issue that perplexes you.
• He is also happy when you seek Him just to say that things are well.
