EPISODE 1855: Overrated Confidence

When I say, “confidence”, what comes to mind for you?
Really? Do you feel confident, and how do you define
confidence? Today I’m going to help you answer these
questions for yourself, and get to know what true confidence
really is by redefining your confidence. 


Because confidence is not only overrated, it’s
misunderstood.


This topic was inspired by a Facebook Live I did earlier today on
my Dr. Shannon Page, while I was wearing my “infamous” pants. I
did an episode about the blue version of these pants a while
ago. 


One of the big things that gets in the way of confidence is
COMPARISON. 


The truth is, comparison never works!


We can never win in the game of comparison.


Being BETTER than someone else isn’t confidence.


So what does “Overrated Confidence” mean?


How can we learn from it?


One of the BIG KEYS to confidence is LOVING yourself
well…what you are, who you are, what you’re all about.


But let’s go even deeper…


So many people are seeking confidence.


Why?


Seriously, I believe it’s overrated.


Why? Because it’s misunderstood.


Being confident for the sake of confidence isn’t really
confidence.


We may think it is, but it’s not.


It’s time to REDEFINE CONFIDENCE.


The opposite of confidence is insecurity.


What’s insecurity?


The bigger concern is what’s causing the insecurity.


Identify what’s causing your insecurity. This will help you
redefine what true confidence means to you.


Insecurity is selfish.


For you to be insecure you have to be thinking about what
everyone else is thinking about you.


Insecurity is very self-centered.


When we get our minds centered too much on ourselves, we can get
insecure very quickly.


This is also where fear comes from.


Fear comes from being focused too much on ourselves.


If the truth about YOU is that you’re NOT selfish, then you ARE
confident. Deep down. This IS the truth about you.


Confidence redefined is TRUTH.


Insecurity is popular…and it’s very common.


Insecure people strive to be popular.


Pretending like you’re confident to prove to someone else that
you’re confident (or popular) is again, OVERRATED.


It’s a huge, deceptive game!


True confidence isn’t even about confidence.


It’s about TRUTH.


The truth about you. You being your most authentic self and
loving yourself well.


Confidence is standing in that truth and love.


Being the TRUE, CONFIDENT YOU.


Not TRYING to be, but BEING.


Confidence is knowledge of, belief in, living in the
truth. This is TRUE CONFIDENCE.


If you’d like to truly express your confident self...


You must let go of insecurity.


You must let go of trying to strive to be
popular.


You must let go of the selfishness.


THAT IS CONFIDENT. THAT IS CONFIDENCE.


Standing in the truth about who you are, what and why you are.


Knowledge of the truth will set you free.


Confidence is freedom. Because confidence is
truth.
