Real confidence is security in knowing whatever is within your capabilities. But instead of replacing insecurity, it counterbalances it.
Understanding True Confidence
True confidence exceeds outward demonstrations of self-assurance. True confidence comes from a sense of security and self-acceptance, not from external affirmation. It is based on having a sincere belief in their own abilities, value, and self belief.
A great example:
Michael Faraday, a true confident and he proposed the theory that light is an electromagnetic wave. Lack of proof make him laughing stalk, but later he justified when James Clark Maxwell backed and proved him right.
Developing Real Confidence
True confidence is develops the process of self-improvement, self-compassion, and accepting flaws.Real confidence is not saying everything will work out fine. It’s believing that you’ll be fine even if it doesn’t. You believe in yourself enough to ask questions. It means that you believe in your own abilities to learn and grow. When you don’t know something you are open to admitting that or try to learn.
