Self-confidence is the Fuel of Self-Esteem.
Today we will talk, again, about self confidence. Because self-confidence is the driving force behind self-esteem, more or less.
If you can trust yourself, if you are a trustworthy person, you open the way to get in touch with your essence, to love yourself, to respect yourself more and more. And often you think this: what is it to be self-reliant? It’s trusting you.
Because if you are a person who lied to you, for example. If you are a person who can not count on yourself and always put the other first when you most need, for sure, for you, you are not reliable.
So you do not have self-confidence. It may be until the other can trust you. But surely you do not trust you. So you’re a fragile person. So you have to cultivate that self-confidence. This understanding of who I am. And the way I relate to me. Can I count on myself? And one important thing I want to tell you today is: you do not even need to know what to do in difficult times, you need to be there.
And often in difficult times you give up. And why do you leave? Because you start trying to look in the other, the reinforcement of that moment, the healing of that moment. You begin to tell yourself that you are no good, no good. That is if you give up at the difficult time. Can you trust someone who leaves you at a difficult time? And if you say like this, “Leia, but I do not know what I do at the difficult time.” No problem not knowing, only if you accept it. If possible give yourself a hug, and say, “It’s okay, I’m here,” with firmness and authority.
And you begin to develop this incredible thing that is self-confidence. That makes you admire so many people. The people you admire are self-reliant. And you too are, it may be, just develop to be also a person you admire.
