Confidence

This is your card reading for Thursday, February 16th/17.  Your card today propelled out of the 'Return of Spirit' card deck authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is 'Confidence', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Perhaps you are not aware of how great you really are.  Maybe you have been doubting yourself or your purpose in life. Have you been questioning whether you are enough, good enough, able or worthy?  In some way you are in need of a confidence boost.  And this is Spirit's way of telling you that you are doing just fine. Spirit believes in you and you need to believe in yourself too.  It will take time and effort on your part, but the rewards of having self-confidence will be well worth it.  
You may not do things perfectly; of course you will make mistakes.  But mistakes are simply opportunities to learn how to do things differently.  It is always easier to see the greatness in others.  Seeing another person's gifts, talents, abilities, and successes is much easier than seeing your own.  This is a cosmic mirror from the Universe, and it's reflecting back to you, all of the incredible qualities that you really do have. . .Now it is time for you to feel confident about you. . .It isn't about you proving anything to yourself or others.  It's about knowing that you are important in Spirit's plan and that you are worthy. Who you are and what you have to offer is so very important.  It's time for you to believe in YOU, the way Spirit believes in YOU."

My message for you today is this:
I feel that your message today is more about the ACTION aspect of embracing being confident in yourself; rather than the understanding and acceptance of all that you have to offer the world.  You have honestly come to a place wherein you DO know and realize within yourself that YOU are a unique offering to the world.  So, you have that internal confidence. The message for you today is about now having the confidence to courageously express that out into the world.  Another facet of the message for you today is to understand that making the decision to be the fullest, authentic expression of who you came here to be doesn't mean that you will not encounter some challenges along the way and that's okay!
We live in an energetic world in which energy is in flow and ever-changing.  'Mis-takes' will be made and adjustments will be necessary and you need to realize that that is all part of the creative process. In the words of Albert Einstein, " A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."   Living your life authentically doesn't mean smooth sailing all the time...you are going to encounter weather and even the occasional storm; but if you remain true to your internal compass, you will navigate your way back on course with ease and grace and new learnings as well. 
The cosmic energies today are very supportive for you to 'walk your talk' and to put into action what you know to be true about you.  Spirit is buoying up your confidence to do so. Perhaps this will be in regards to advocating for yourself in someway in your career or in relationship.  Perhaps now is the time to initiate that heart-centered project.  Hold positive expectations and that is what you will experience!
Blessed be...
