Self Confidence
“When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.” Lao-Tzu
Previously a while back I did a poll on “What does having CONFIDENCE mean to YOU?” The results displayed that “All the above” had the most votes and next was being “Comfortable”. Why do you think being comfortable increases confidence? Do you think when you are comfortable with yourself or a subject matter this improves feeling more competent and promotes self-confidence? By having self-confidence are people more apt to take risks, which may open up more doors of opportunities? What do you think these results tell us? ~ Patti

I think being comfortable with yourself does certainly give you confidence. This is the one I would have chosen too.
Thanks Wendy for your insight. 🙂
I agree with your view. It takes work to be self-confident but once you start seeing yourself for who you really are – you – that’s when you begin to value yourself and realize that the path everyone else follows isn’t meant for you, as well. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this post. It kind of made me re-instill faith in myself.
