Successful Mindset

What? My true self is not necessarily who I’m right now? Yes, you got it right. For some people, who you are right now might be your true self, but most people, they don’t. First, let me introduce the term: True Self or Higher Self Vs False Self or Conditioning Mind.

One the most important thing that you can learn in your live is to differentiate between this two. The true self is your original self, who you came in to the world as. The false self basically is who you learn to be in this world in order to live and survive in the world. Since child, we learn who we are from various way and one way is from experience, and this way of being that we learn or created is called our personality (false self / ego self), this false self is an idea that you made up when you’re very little who you are and who you need to be in order to live and survive in this world.

Your personality is based on the need to survive, it’s not necessary to enjoy and thrive in the world.
Our way of thinking and being is based on conclusion in which the assumption is generated based on a child’s mind. Based on research, 90% of your personality is formed before 10 years old. Other than our assumption, we also got some conditioning from our family, friends, media, environment. But all of this stuff is NOT the real you. It’s only a recording of information that you learn from a child and it’s running unconsciously until now. It’s only recording that you learn as a child, and now it’s stored in the unconscious mind.

You’re are not the recorder, you’re not the tape, you’re are the one playing the tape. You’re not what’s in the glass, you’re are the glass, the one holding the glass. You’re are not the condition mind, your mind is part of you, you’re what hold your mind. If the content of recorder or water inside the glass or your mind doesn’t support you, you can change it, don’t let yourself being controlled by your mind. The key to freedom is to identify your true self and yourself, and be able to separate your self from your false self. when you do this, you have an opportunity of choice. you observe your own mind, and chose if you want to follow it or not. Most people don’t know this, they believe that their false self or who they learn to be as is who they are. People think it’s normal, normal means generally accepted by other people. Yes, it’s normal, but it’s not natural, it’s not their true self.

People who is still searching for happiness, love, peace, inner peace, fulfillment, joy in their life with conditional mind wont find it because 90% of the time, conditional mind is a survival mechanism. the job is for protection and often is based on fear, worried.

So, where do we find our true self, well the good news is you don’t need to find your true self anywhere else, your true self is always there. Most of the times, the conditional mind screaming so loud until you wont hear your true self. You need to quite your mind and being at the present moment. Your true self always contain the highest thought, the clearest words and the grandest feeling. Those thought which contains Joy, those words which contain Truth, and those feeling which contains Love. That’s it, Joy, Truth and Love. The moment you’re in the present moment and you act or think based on joy, truth and love, you’re in your true self. The moment your mind is in future or past, or in fear, you’re out of your true self. When you choose the action out of true self, you will do more than survive, you will do more than win, do more than succeed. Then you will experience the full glory of Who You Really Are and you will find true happiness and true success.

If it’s the case, why it’s not obvious to everyone? Well, it’s simply because we’re like a fish in water, the fish doesn’t know she’s in water all her life unless she’s out of the water. And we can’t know we’re living in false self, until we step out of false self. so, for practice, now you can constantly watch and observe yourself when you’re in true self or false self. The key is to have awareness of yourself. Only when you have awareness, then you can chose if you want to follow your conditional mind or your true self.
