Favorite Self Confidence Quote
You yourselves are the Being you are seeking.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is being compassionate and forgiving in your decisions so that you can take risks without fear paralyzing you. It’s not about being fearless, but not using fear to be the only driver in your decision making process.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Sarah used to buy things to impress people, even though she would go against the grain (e.g. pursuing a liberal arts degree instead of a finance/business one like every single one of my family members did). For Sarah, it was a way to seek approval and attention.
The “AHA” Moment
When Sarah moved back from Australia to Canada, her boyfriend broke up with her. She realized she was jobless, broke and in debt because of her fear of being unloved and the desire to create this ideal romantic relationship so she could feel validated as a person.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Sarah is unapologetic in her decisions, and when she does make a major life decision it’s because it’s in line with her values.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Trust the process. Even when you’re going through some dark times, know that whatever decision you make, it’ll lead you to a breakthrough. The important thing to remember is that whatever happens on the outside doesn’t matter. It’s your willingness to look at all parts of the inside of yourself, flaws and all that will determine what happens.
