ASTROLOGY Build Your Self-Confidence

Excerpts from speech delivered by Siddha Yogi Shri Siva Shankar Baba

If you cannot develop the skills to perform in a given, limited role an ordinary worldly corporate, how will you even dare to believe that you are not just a human being but God Himself (or Goddess Herself); you are filled with limitless energy and therefore infinite possibilities.

Build up that confidence first and you will bridge the gap between the non-functioning human you assume yourself to be and the limitless divine Self that you actually are.

The day you think you can walk on water, you can. What you think you cannot do, you cannot. Anything is possible, provided you think it is possible. If you think you can, you can. 6 KELAMBAKKAM TIMES / Mar 30 to Apr 12, 2014 Sports......
