Is Truth really the absence of doubt? Could there be more to it that this? Read this article to see how genuine confidence is a process that grows like new leaves peeking up from the soil from tiny seeds of faith.
In The Courage to Create, psychologist Rollo May describes truth as a never-dying process formed by a personal commitment to hear the tapping of our inner-world of questions, even though this wondering may cause us to doubt.
“It takes courage,” explains May to express our own creative ideas and to move ahead in spite of our doubts, and the doubts of others. Commitment is a paradoxical idea that “is healthiest when it is not without doubt… To believe fully and to at the same moment have doubts is not at all a contradiction.” In contrast, operating in a mental state that insists we can’t possibly be wrong is an unhealthy, dogmatic, false condition. This blocks out new truth, and “is a dead giveaway of unconscious doubt.”
Genuine confidence is a process that grows like new leaves peeking up through the soil from tiny seeds of faith. This tree of life takes daily nurturing over time in a sustainable process of personal and professional growth to develop, but over time it becomes a beautiful and fruitful creativity tree that others can benefit from too. But it takes courage to express your creative ideas where the media and many newspapers have become a battlefield where the winner is the one who wields the biggest, most sensational club.
This can discourage us from even having an opinion of our own. But forming our opinions is a necessary to take control of your personal creative power, and the meaning of originality. Here is what James Fitzjames Steven said about originality in 1859 that can give you the courage you need to express your ideas.
“Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.”
and I would also add...
saying it in time to make a passionate difference.
So don't wait to get started forming your opinions and taking control of your creative power.
