Hello you all, today's theme is, how to keep one's confidence high ?

You are stronger and braver than most. You can get over this temporary setback.

When you say things like this I think of Rudyard Kipling's If. And then I think you are able to say "Yes I do that." to so many of his Ifs.


You certainly ace the "fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds ' worth of distance run".

Another piece of poetry comes to mind Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up

Actually, it's working perfectly. Your shrinking into doubt is providing you with an opportunity to see what underlies your doubting. You have the tools of introspection and self-inquiry at your disposal. Revel in discovery.

The power of words both written and said is a powerful thing. The only defense against negative words is to appreciate and love who you are. <3

I know it can be tough, I have those scars too. I try to remind myself daily that it's okay to not be perfect.

My wife just posted this...

“Whatever you think that you will be. if you think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you think yourself strong, strong you will be” - Swami Vivekananda

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

Your strength lives inside your fear. You come out strong when you shrink. You are a braveheart.
When we are low on confidence we must think of what good we have done, how we have been kind to others..think of all the good things we did..

Reading comments and responses I don’t think it’s so much a confidence issue as much as the negativity you’re being fed. You need to find or chose a project and see it through. After that first step your journey will continue. Go into silent mode, don’t let the outside in to distract you and find your space.

I fear that that might keep occuring until you are reduced to nothing but the very core of what or who you are. When you arrive at your bedrock foundation, you can no longer be shaken.
So, yes, it is working.

anything specifically wrong? can I help? post some of your art, that always helps me.

Know your worth. Value yourself. Have confidence. Develop it. Follow your passions. Maintain your boundaries. Be kind, yet take no shit. Why would you care about what others say? They likely do not know you. Do they pay your bills? Do they live with you? No. Then what they say is irrelevant. Any questions? Oh, and surround yourself with people who care about you. Who are your tribe.
