What is Emerson's famous charge in Self-Reliance in the paragraph in which he states "Trust thyself..."?

I think this segment of Emerson's
Self-Reliance focuses on the theme of confidence. If we cannot
believe in ourselves, we have already defeated the purposes and aims we set out to
achieve. In reference to the entire paragraph, Emerson asks us to consider doing three
things:

1. Notice where you are and accept your
circumstances. Then, choose to work with them:

"Accept the place the divine providence has found
for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have
always done so."

2. Consider
the confidence of children and employ that with the knowledge of being an
adult:

"Great
men have always do so and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age,
betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart,
working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and
must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and
invalids in a protected
corner."

3. Being grown
adults, consider employing the powers of teaching, giving, helping and fighting
evil.

"And we
are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny... but
guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos
and the Dark."

I think given
these above principles, Emerson is charging his readers to live to the best of their
abilities which means acting on the good we have inside of us. Sometimes we think of a
right thing to do, but do not have the confidence to follow through with it. If it is
right, it must be done.
