Open Confidence

How confident are you about the words that you speak? I do believe that verbal expression is an overused form of expression, though it is imperative to be careful with the words you choose to say. As it is a hyperfocused form of communication, one should be wary of the words being put out there for others.

I truly admire those who are willing to put out an original idea, an idea that may go against the norm. If you have something possibly controversial to say, begin by accepting it yourself fully and then saying it with complete confidence. When you accept things when you say them, it invites others to consider your point of view because you are solid with what you say and how you say it. It can sometimes put people off guard, it can make them stumble upon their “solid ground”. The only way to really get down to what you really value and believe is to put it out there to others with confidence. Then to truly be open to others comments about your beliefs; be open to consider their point of view though pay attention to what your intuition is teling you. Then take a step back, contemplate and find another point of view to challenge. This is how you get to understand your values and beliefs as your inner guide. You must be able to put them out there.
If you can pay attention to your intuition you will have no need to focus so much on the attention from others. Because you will have confidence in your actions and decisions and will have less need for reinforcement and assurance from extraneous entities. Be free to be in your space, work with it, expand it, don’t apologize for it but be aware of its impact on others and yourself.
