The exercises in the previous two sections were meant to help rebuild some trust in yourself again. When we fall out of touch with our inner selves, an unsettling sense of distrust begins to brew beneath the surface. We feel wary of this inner awareness, and think we know better about what is best for us (that’s the ego talking). Eventually we begin to ignore the hunches and gut feelings that would otherwise be a great asset in our lives.
As you begin to spend more time with yourself and reconnect with your inner power, and as you begin to honestly assess your strengths and abilities, you begin to feel more in tune with your authentic self. Little by little you begin to trust her or him again, and rebuild the bonds that form a stable inner foundation.
Over time, you realize that your inner self is not your enemy but your greatest ally. You begin to understand that any failures or blockages you experienced were a direct result of the disconnection from your inner self, and you commit to bridging the gap you created.
Throughout this process you may face some challenges, scary moments when you aren’t sure if you can trust your inner self. Perhaps you’ll feel a nudge to move in a certain direction and then have doubts about whether it’s a genuine insight or wishful thinking. Or you might feel confused and scattered, still unsure what your inner self is trying to convey to you.
The best way to overcome these initial challenges is to keep testing the strength of your connection. Start with something small, like asking your inner self to guide you in your decision-making during the upcoming day. Then as you are faced with choices during the day, pause for a moment and turn your attention inward as you consider your options. See if you feel any physical sensations about a particular choice. Does your gut tighten with anxiety when you consider making a move? Or do you feel an inner urging to choose a certain option? If you feel comfortable trusting these hunches, do so. You might be surprised by how accurate your initial hunches are.
If you do experience problems when you trust your intuition, simply keep working at it. It may seem frightening at the beginning, but in very short order you should be feeling much more confident about making decisions, and you should notice that your choices are becoming wiser and more beneficial every day.
Besides strengthening your natural inner guidance moment to moment, you should also focus on learning to trust your higher self to know what is best for you in the grand scheme of things. Too often we allow others to direct our lives because it’s easier than forging our own path. We’re afraid to upset someone, or offend them, or hurt their feelings, so we let go of controlling our own lives and let them do it for us.
As well-intentioned as those people may be, they do not know better than we do what is best for us. The choices they make for us can be unfulfilled, misleading or downright dangerous.
Make it your mission to trust your inner voice. Again, the more time you spend getting reacquainted with yourself, the more quickly you will gain a greater understanding of who you are and what you really want in your life.
If you find yourself struggling to rebuild trust with your inner self, consider doing a simple exercise to get the ball rolling: Write a letter of apology to your inner self.
An apology for what, you ask? If you’ve ever put yourself down because you weren’t good at something, or belittled yourself, berated yourself, or gotten angry at yourself; if you’ve ever insulted yourself or thought little of yourself, or called yourself “stupid,” or refused to honor yourself in any way, you have set a cycle of destruction in motion within yourself.
Writing a letter of apology to your inner self can help reverse the process and get things moving in a positive, nurturing direction again. The letter doesn’t have to be long or painfully detailed, just sincere. Tell your inner self that you never meant to be so harsh, demanding, close-minded or impatient. Admit that you weren’t seeing the whole picture and you now realize that your actions created an inner divide.
Most importantly, stress your commitment to doing better now.
The point of this exercise isn’t to humiliate you or emphasize your “wrongdoing”. It’s to help you see that your inner self doesn’t deserve anger or abuse. Your inner self has been trying to reach out to you all along; you just weren’t willing to listen yet. Don’t be hard on yourself for this, for it’s something we all do to a certain degree. Just acknowledge that you are ready to begin changing your habits – and then do it.

Believe In Yourself
There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be. That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.
There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle,
you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.
Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.
Keep believing in yourself.

Believe in yourself -
in the power you have
to control your own life, day by day,
Believe in the strength
that you have deep inside,
and your faith will help
show you the way.
Believe in tomorrow
and what it will bring -
let a hopeful heart carry you through,
For the things will work out
if you trust and believe
there's no limit
to what you can do.

Believe In what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams
you’ve always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.
Life holds no promises
as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals
and work toward reaching them.
Life makes no guarantees
as to what you’ll have.
It just gives you time to make choices
and to take chances
and to discover whatever secrets
that might come your way.
If you are willing to take
the opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life
with special moments
and unforgettable times.
No one knows the mysteries of life
or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams
and in themselves,
life is a precious gift
in which anything is possible..

The answer to the need we have always felt has always been inside. If we are looking for peace, the place to look for it is within."

For those who wish to turn within and find peace Maharaji, as Prem Rawat is widely known offers a practical tool, which he calls Knowledge. He likens this tool to a bridge or a mirror. He says that the experience of Knowledge cannot be described; that it can only be experienced and judged by the heart. He describes Knowledge as not being a solution to problems, but rather as a means to extract the joy which, he says, resides within each breath. This Knowledge, he says, is a way for a person to connect with themselves. This requires sincerity and a commitment to trust one’s own heart:

"Knowledge is unique. It’s unique because, on one hand you have four very physical techniques, and on the other hand there is this beautiful joy. There is this beautiful feeling that these techniques bring. Here is an ultimate bridge between these four techniques and the heart. …because remember: heart has to be the judge. Where Knowledge takes you, heart has to be the judge. The feeling that Knowledge brings you: the heart has to be the judge. And, if you try to describe it, it is almost impossible. But you can certainly feel it. This is what it is all about. Experience... Experience and let the heart be the guide. Let the heart be the judge. Knowledge is not a solution to your problems. A lot of people… This is what they think... You know? “If I receive Knowledge then all my problems will disappear.” No. Knowledge is not a solution to your problems. You want to solve your problems? Then you need to solve your problems. The best way to solve your problems is, in fact, not to have them in the first place. Don’t do those things that create the problems. But the problems do have solutions. You can search. You can find those solutions and you can solve your problems. Knowledge is strictly for taking you to that place within, where you can feel that joy. …where you can feel that peace."

Part of making the journey to peace within requires removing doubts and shedding baggage Prem Rawat says. By baggage he means preconceived ideas, judgments, concepts, inherited from the world and not truly ours:

"Learn to trust yourself, because this journey is not going away from you. This is going to you. This is about looking within. We know how to look outside. We see the things. We judge the things: good, bad, right, wrong, “This is nice,” “This looks good,” “This looks great.” But really, when you start to look within it has to be without any judgment. It has to be simple. It has to be clear.”

If you believe
Within your heart
You’ll know that no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
And know you’re right because
The time will come around
When you’ll say it’s yours

Believe that you can go home
Believe you can float on air
Then click your heels three times
If you believe
Then you’ll be there
That’s why I want you to
Believe in yourself
Right from the start
Believe in the magic
Right there in your heart
Go ahead believe all these things
Not because I told you to
But believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
As I believe in you!

I wish for you comfort through a difficult day
Smiles to fade your sadness away
Radiant rainbows to follow the rain
The courage to overcome your pain
Hugs to enfold you when your spirit is down
Laughter in your heart to erase your frown
Sunsets so beautiful and bright to renew your heart and soul
The patience in life to follow your dreams and your goal
Peace and hope as a new day is about to begin
A heart of sunshine with the sunlight beautifully shining within
A delicate butterfly with tiny wings that flies on a flower
Strength and hope to face even your darkest hour
I wish you the stars that shine upon you each night
Putting on a dazzling, beautiful display so soft and so bright
Faith inside of your heart to always believe
Inner strength and confidence to focus on the dreams and goals you want to achieve
For you see my kind friend, beauty is felt with the heart and not always through the eyes each day
This is my friendship prayer for you to always keep close to your heart along the way
Not everything that glitters is gold
But I will always be there to help carry your heavy load
I wish you love each and every day my friend
This is my friendship prayer for you!

Many days and nights spin rapidly by
Thoughts of loved ones and family swirl in your mind
You reach for your favorite pen...
And search for the words you just cant find

Mountains and rivers flow with majestic vision
Rainbow spectrum's color your dreams
Yearning to bring that blank canvas to life
To paint your memories on a life-size screen

The pen and mind refuse to meet half way
Your inspiration draining like running ink
Just one stanza to get it started
Eyes wide open, better not blink

All of your energy spent in one mighty try
The pen falls in a heavy thud
You hold it all back, trying not to cry
Your writing career must surely be done

These feelings of writers block all to real
Will you ever get that "magic" back again?
Just relax and you will soon begin to feel
That all you needed was a brand new pen

The words will write themselves through your heart
You won`t believe what stories will take shape
Your fellow poets will critique the very best parts
About your hopes , dreams and faith

Never give in to thoughts of despair
Sometimes your words are just not there
Trust your heart and the words that you felt
But most of all, believe in yourself.

Why are you so bitter?
Why are you so sad?
I see pain in your eyes
And anger in your mood,
I wish there were something I could do.
I know right now
The road looks tough
And the hills look steep,
But I know in a matter of time
You’ll be back on your feet.
Life is cyclic with it’s
Twist and turns
But you have to learn
That it’s only a moment
And will pass with time.
Believe in yourself
And others too,
Just remember,
What you dish out
May come back to you.
Be kind with words,
And feelings too,
Keep your chin up
And smile a big smile
I am here for you
From mile to mile.
Turn that frown
Into something more,
Smell the fresh air
And the flowers too,
Look in to your heart,
And know the truth,
It is there.
So no more sadness,
No more tears,
Smile a bright smile
It doesn’t hurt,
And know,
I believe in you.

Look inside your heart
Don't matter what they say
It won't break me apart
They may ruin my day
But i can have it my way
Just find your inner light
Get back on track on your life
No need to fight
If you believe in yourself
And believe no one else
your unique
dont care what they say
What they know
Just walk your walk
And talk your talk
And you'll survive
By the end of the day
you'll be proud of yourself
And just believe in no one else
no one else......
Cuz'If you find your inner light
Find that kind heart
Be kind not to fight
And you will be that unique person
Believe
Believe
In no one else
NO one else!

Whatever it is you are wanting of you.
Whatever you choose in your lifetime to do.
So what if it's something that's totally new.
Believe in yourself. See it through.

It isn't important if others believe it.
What counts is that you were the one to conceive it.
And just how sincerely, you truly believe it.
Believe in yourself. You'll achieve it.

People will scorn you. Affect your decisions.
Fill you with doubt towards your current ambitions.
Don't fall a victim to their inhibitions.
Believe in yourself and your missions.

Know in your heart, what you're doing is right.
Know you can do it, with all of your might.
Know that the goal is one clearly in sight.
Believe in yourself. You'll shine bright!

A candlelight glows in memory,
Of the love we still hold.
A life that touched so many,
Treasured gifts as memories unfold.
Our eyes well up with tears,
As we try to be strong.
Yet throughout our remaining years,
For their love we will long.
If we could just remember,
The Lord reaches out His hand.
He'll walk with us forever-
Help our hearts to understand.
Trusting Him to take our sorrow,
Faith He will see us through.
Will guide us towards tomorrow,
Filled with His blessings too.
So honor your precious loved one,
With the candlelight a glow.
Knowing your healing has begun,
As your teardrops gently flow.

You can only try.
Give it your best shot.

Plant a winning smile.
A positive thought.

You're on your way now.
You're looking good.

Moving forward.
Out in front.

Aim high above the clouds.
You can fly.

Believe in yourself.
Dreams can come true.

Dont limit yourself.
Dont be bound by rules.

Experiment and wonder.
Let your mind lead you.

Soon you'll find
all the amazing things
you can do! ! !

Believe forever, and always believe,
That you are a winner
and that's what you'll be!
Always believe that your dreams
will come true,
If you believe in just one person,
Just believe in YOU!.

Believe that you can do it
just climb to the top,
Keep right on believing,
and never once stop.
Believe you are perfect just as you now are,
With courage and faith you can go very far.
Others will plant seeds of doubt,
and try to make you fall,
Keep right on believing that you will
someday have it all.
Don't let their gossip cripple the faith
you own within,
Know that you have the character
and integrity to win.

Draw strength from deep within
and don't question yourself,
Don't look for a wolf in sheep's clothing
when you need help.
You can depend on yourself through
the darkest of nights,
Through perseverance and courage.....
you'll win every fight.
