The Meaning of Confidence



What is confidence?


Stephenie Zamora: Confidence is "owning it" Which means you’re totally and completely at peace with WHO YOU ARE in every moment, interaction and experience.


Raj Persaud: True self-confidence comes from an attitude where you: Promise yourself, no matter how difficult the problem life throws at you, that you will try as hard as you can to help yourself. You acknowledge that sometimes your efforts to help yourself may not result in success, as often being properly rewarded is not in your control.


thesocialman.com: A solid foundation. Knowing what you want and being clear about it.


Joyce Meyer: Confidence is all about being positive concerning what you do and not worrying over what you can't do. Confidence is holding on to a strong faith in God, a faith that is backed up with a complete knowledge and understanding that with God's help you can do anything.


Morty Lefkoe: Confidence actually exists on a continuum, ranging from a very low to a very high belief in our own abilities, a sense we can handle whatever life throws at us.


Elaine: Being confident means you can have your dreams and fulfil them.


Norman Vincent Peale: Believing in yourself and having faith in your abilities.


Evelyn Lim: Self-confidence is a fundamental certainty in who you are, and therefore, you become sure of what you do and have to offer to others.


To me, confidence is knowing you are on the right path for yourself. It's standing tall in what you believe in. It's courage. It is not letting others define you. It's your love for yourself and others.


I have found that confidence has a different meaning to different people. Truly knowing what confidence is to YOU is confidence!


What is confidence to you?
