From the article: Building Self-Confidence
Have you faced a really scary moment and surprised yourself with your self-confidence? Or maybe you've experienced something that is special or different. Are you proud of yourself for overcoming a big hurdle of some kind? Have you stepped out of your shell to stand up to someone, or take up for yourself, or sell yourself when it really mattered? Your story might help somebody else.

Living a lie!

Not to know the Truth about myself was painfull. I knew who I was led to believe I was and that belief system manifested in my life. When I found the Truth about myself by " studing my own mind" it turned out to be completly eronious. How someone could be so wrong for so long and still be alive is a question I have finally answered. And the answer was within me all the time. Why, why, why? Well now I know the answer! I became tired of the pain that I was creating; a self-induced prison. I was unaware of my free-will and will-power. The only oppinion I had of myself was that of a misfit; I did not fit in anywhere. I am 80 years of age and for the past 35 years I have a completely different out-look on life due to (with the help of numerous Mentors) a change in the inage I had of myself. There was a part of me I had very little, if any, understanding of; the part of me that wanted a better life; my Spiritual Self. It says it all in "Hey God, I'm Home", my auto-bio. Stay well
