Fake Confidence vs True Confidence
The problem with starting a blog years after I started down this path is that I’ll leave out a lot of the more fundamental stuff that I figured out/realized long ago.
One of them relates to confidence.
For most people, the confidence that they know is a result of knowing or believing that he is better than somebody or something.
I am (or I can finally be) confident because:
-
I am richer than him
-
I am more handsome than him
-
I lay more chicks than him
-
More people like me
-
I have better results than that ITE guy
-
I am better than I was
It is obvious that this type of confidence is conditional and therefore not real. In the absence of the conditions that gave a person his confidence, he will feel diminished. For example, someone who prides himself for his good looks is not going to be confident anymore when he is disfigured by an acid splash.
True confidence is a natural state. It is a result of knowing the falsehood of any of the above conditions.
No conditions can be the real You. Whether a person is or think he is worthy/unworthy, beautiful/ugly or rich/poor, it is ultimately not Him.
In the realization of the True Self, there is True Confidence. They are synonymous.
Hope that makes sense.
