Short excerpt from the article..
"We are born confident. Do you see how a kid is so immensely full of confidence? None of us are born afraid. When we are afraid, we ask for confidence. Do not ask for confidence; instead, ask for freedom from fear. Fear is a thought given to you by society. It is not what you are. Just as you picked it up, you can drop it back. Exercise that power."
In this article, Author offers a radical departure from the "Self-Help" industry’s approach to confidence. He suggests that what we usually call "confidence" is merely a decorated form of —a fragile mental state dependent on external results and social approval.
True confidence, he argues, is actually the absence of the self-conscious "I." When you are fully immersed in the Truth of the moment or the necessity of the task, there is no one left to feel "confident" or "diffident."
If we stop trying to "build" confidence and instead focus on objective "Clarity," does the paralyzing fear of failure naturally vanish?
