be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment."

"Confidence": trust, reliance; self-assurance, faith, boldness; many see it as the opposite of fearfulness, hesitation, guilt, diffidence, shyness, indecisiveness, timidity, meekness, shame, or anxiety.
Some people spend their lives searching for "confidence," working unpleasant jobs, lifting weights, reading books, learning martial arts, buying certain clothes, cars, and houses - all in search of that elusive condition that could be described as "confidence." But what's the truth about it? Are some people just born with it, and others not? Is it something in our control?
Confidence as a result of "competence."
Confidence as having a solid character.
Confidence as a symptom of emotional
health
Confidence as the product of a good childhood environment
Confidence as an inborn disposition or character
temperament
Confidence as freedom from "negative
emotions" (fear, shame, doubt,
etc)
Confidence as not
putting yourself on a pedestal to fall from
Confidence as the result of moral
intelligence.
Confidence as basing your life on solid
ground or being "centered."
Confidence as being rooted
in your own center of gravity
Confidence as identity: of "knowing
who you are."
Confidence as knowing why
you are here.
"To get at the core of God at his greatest,
one must first get into the core of himself at his least,
for no on can know God who has not first known himself.
Go to the depths of the soul,
the secret place of the Most High,
to the roots, to the heights: for all the God can do is focused
there."
- Meister Eckhart
