Definition of Self Confidence
Being true to yourself and living a life aligned with your values, regardless of what people say or think. Self-confidence comes from within.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Tiffany has always been somewhat of a confident person, in the sense that she really did not care what people think (for the most part), but almost in a way of rebellion, because deep down she is pretty sure she did care what people thought of her. There was a lot of ego, unawareness, pressure to conform to social norms, and the typical phases of self-discovery as she was growing up.
The “AHA” Moment
Tiffany quit her job last year and travelled through Asia and Africa, partly by herself. For the first time in a very long time, she felt like she was being true to herself, not by what she was doing, but how she was feeling. She felt so connected, transparent, and happy.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
After a discovery like that, your life flourishes! So many creative ideas came out of that. Tiffany learned to love herself in deeper way. She makes her life decisions based on what she wants, whether or not the circumstances are in her favour.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
