“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.” | | Lao Tzu |

Hello connectors, |
I hope everyone is having a fantastic week as always. |
I’ve been feeling a sense of motivation recently but I’ve also have been slacking on my work. |
When it’s your work and no one keeps you accountable it’s harder to accomplish. |
Im going to push through and try to find enjoyment in the process as always. |
Let’s dive into confidence… |
|
Why do you need confidence? |
Confidence allows you to move in the direction you are seeking without having to care about what others think of you. |
It doesn’t matter their opinion or how they view you. |
Their perception of you is only what they see on the outside and the experiences they have gone through. |
If you are confident in yourself, your mindset, and your mission, there is no need for worry or doubt. |
That anxiety or anxiousness you feel when life gets tough, can either fuel you to be better or push you down a hole of despair. |
You need confidence because it allows you to find your true actualization in this world and makes it easier to pursue your goals. |
Confidence is the backbone and energy that allows you to flow through this world seamlessly. |
If you want to achieve your goals you need to believe that it’s possible. |
Belief is one of the strongest energy forces and the universe will reward you for trusting yourself. |
|
|
Building Confidence Takes Work |
Just like anything in this world, confidence is not something you wake up with. |
It takes dedication and persistence to create a life where you are confident. |
Just like any skill, you can develop confidence by practicing it daily. |
First, you have to learn to accept yourself for who you are. |
Understanding there are some things you just can’t change about yourself. |
Second, you have to realize that you are not actually one person. |
You are actually three. |
The one you think you are (the physical), the one others think you are (the mental), and the one you actually are. |
To develop unwavering self-confidence you should focus on the person you actually are, which will give you supreme confidence in your own being. |
Third you should understand that preparation allows you to be more confident in yourself and allows you to trust your intuition. |
If you prepare well, you should know that no matter what happens you applied yourself fully and that’s all you can ask for. |
Tips to build self-confidence: |
Build up your mental knowledge(reading, writing, deep introspection, learning a new skill) Set realistic goals you can achieve (builds your momentum) Focus on physical improvement (lifting weights, running, taking care of your body) Focus on your diet (eat whole fruits, veggies, and have a solid protein intake) Find peace in your soul (mindful meditation, journaling, and staying present) Face your fears and seek discomfort Build a tribe of like-minded people Embrace your strengths Cultivate a positive mindset Be patient with yourself
|
This is who you are, you are a person in this universe with a unique gift. |
Embrace yourself fully. |
Share it with the world. |
Realize that some people won’t like you and that’s okay. |
Everyone’s trying to find their own way, and no one’s perfect. |
Believe in yourself because that’s how you can self-actualize and achieve your highest form of self. |
Some might even say that the meaning of life is elevating your consciousness, and I think that goes hand in hand with developing confidence in yourself and your abilities. |
|
|
Confidence is Being Self-aware |
To find peace within yourself is true confidence. |
Seeking the best for you, not for anyone else, is confidence. |
Listen to your inner guide and follow where it takes you. |
Don’t be afraid but rather embrace the uncertainty and the challenge of life. |
The path and journey will make you stronger, more aware, and more wise. |
If you always try your best you can be confident in the fact that you have done the right thing. |
Detach the results from your actions, try things just to see if they work, and create just to create. |
You will feel much better if you just do what makes you whole rather than trying to live by someone else plan or society’s constraints limiting your full potential. |
Confidence therefore is listening to your inner guidance, following that pattern, and accepting the true self that you are creating in the universe. |
|

Create Your Own Reality |
The modern lifestyle seeks to destroy your confidence. |
We are constantly flooded with cheap dopamine only a daily basis only to distract us from our true purpose in this life. |
It comes in the form of short videos, processed foods, pornography, social media, and many others. |
In order to excel in this world you have to stop indulging in pursuits that take you away from you creating a life you desire. |
Lifestyle design requires vigorous work and hours of dedication to achieve your full potential. |
I think these pleasures destroy your self-confidence and lead you to a life of unhappiness and unfulfillment. |
With the constant comparisons to others, distractions, and how society prefers us to be mindless consumers, we all have a choice. |
We all have a choice to accept mediocrity or develop extreme self-confidence in the face of all these controllers. |
The journey to extreme confidence is not easy but it’s something that everyone should strive for if they want to accomplish greatness. |
What Confidence is not: |
|
What Confidence is: |
Self-belief Resilience Positive self-image Assertiveness Openness to learning
|
We all have the ability to become confident if we choose that path. |
Creating your reality becomes second nature when you develop the patterns of someone who is confident and self-aware. |
If you’re someone who wants a life where you get to choose what you do with your time, you should develop confidence. |
People will trust you more, you will get your way and life will become more abundant. |
|
|
Trust Your Path |
I am by no means perfect and I have struggled with confidence in the past, and still continue to struggle with it. |
I am learning to live a life where I become more confident. |
When I played baseball the people who were most confident in themselves usually performed the best. |
They understood that up to the point of performance, they did everything in their power to prepare rigorously and diligently. |
They trusted their ability and their practice, now it’s about achieving the state of flow to accomplish the task at hand. |
Confidence is the potion that guides your inner self to enlightenment. |
It allows your mind and body to be connected, with perfect alignment to the cosmos. |
The universe can sense confidence running through you and rewards you based on that feeling. |
When I struggled with confidence I was unhappy, burdened by distraught feelings of unworthiness and absolute negativity. |
When I became more confident, I felt a sense of pride in myself, happy to be alive, and ready to attack each day. |
You have the ability as a human to choose how you act every day, so why not act with confidence and take extreme ownership of your life? |
You have no responsibility to act as you were 5 minutes ago. |
That is to say, you get to choose how you want to live out the next day. |
Your identity doesn’t have to be wrapped up and stuck in the past |
You can make a conscious decision to be a more confident person; today, tomorrow, or now. |
You decide… |
If you want to find inner peace and seek inner joy in this universe, act with confidence and bravery. |
Show your inner warrior to the world, and live with courage. |

Spiritual Oddysey |
In the profound journey towards building and nurturing your confidence, it becomes clear that this isn't just about the self; it's a spiritual odyssey. |
As you embrace your inner strength and tap into the wellspring of self-belief, you connect with something greater than yourself. |
Confidence, in its truest essence, is a reflection of the divine spark within you, a testament to your inherent worthiness. |
It is the profound realization that you are not alone in this vast universe, but rather, you are co-creators of your destiny, shaped by the divine hand that guides you. |
In nurturing your confidence, honor the sacred truth that you are here to shine your light, share your gifts, and contribute to the world in meaningful ways. |
So, let your journey of confidence be a spiritual pilgrimage, a conscious communion with your highest self, and a radiant testament to the boundless possibilities that await when we believe in the magic that resides within our souls. |
Use this superpower to achieve self-mastery and use it to your advantage. |
Optimize your potential as a human being as we all hold the elixir of self-belief deep within our subconscious. |
Have confidence in who you are, have confidence in your abilities, and use it to live a life of meaning, gratitude, and purpose. |
