Inside you is a place filled with joy, creativity, intuition, peace, power, love and all good things. I call it the Higher Self. Whenever in this place, your confidence soars and all seems right with the world.
Inside you is also a place filled with self-doubt, fear, anger, helplessness, scarcity and all negative things. This is the Lower Self. Whenever in this place, your confidence disappears and all seems wrong with the world.
Yes, Lower-Self thinking is only a habit. The good news is that habits can be broken. By practising a Higher-Self way of thinking, your fear diminishes and your confidence rises.
Your task is set before you … it is to take the steps necessary to become a Higher-Self thinker. Many of these steps are embodied in this little book of confidence.
When you are thinking thoughts of joy, creativity, intuition, peace, power, love and all good things, you are in the world of the Higher Self.
When you are thinking thoughts of self-doubt, fear, anger, helplessness, scarcity and all negative things, you can be sure you are in the world of the Lower Self. And it’s time to find the High road.
I call the voice of the Lower Self, the Chatterbox
