What is a person’s greatest confidence?

in #psychological7 days ago

Human nature is complex and fascinating. Every ordinary person will encounter a time when we hold our chins high and stand confidently in the journey of life. The source of people's greatest confidence can be varied, but I believe it is not something that can be simply obtained by material accumulation.
I am one of the ordinary people. Once upon a time, I thought that confidence was the accumulation of strength and achievements. When I thought I was at the top in workplace struggles, interpersonal relationships, or major meetings, I seemed to have endless confidence. However, as time went by and my experience increased, I gradually realized that confidence was far more than that.
Confidence can come from self-confidence. I believe that true self-confidence does not come from victory after victory or recognition from others, but a deep understanding and acceptance of one's own abilities-even when you fail, you can firmly believe that you can do better next time. This kind of confidence is not a variant of arrogance or conceit, but a root deeply rooted in the heart.
Confidence can also be explored from a psychological perspective. As an ordinary person, after browsing a lot of psychological materials, I found that people with a strong sense of self-efficacy tend to be more confident. Self-efficacy is a belief in whether an individual can use the skills they have to achieve the desired results, and thus generate enthusiasm and perseverance to face challenges to varying degrees. When a person's self-identity and confidence are solid, he can persist in the face of difficulties and feel the inner strength.
I think the most important thing is: deep psychological cognition, insights after experience, confidence in one's own value, and professional accomplishments or skills accumulated through long-term perseverance - these are the important reasons why we have a unique foothold among the masses.
Speaking of experience and insights, I found an obvious phenomenon in my interactions with different people: those who are unwilling to be mediocre and are good at communicating with others with their own values ​​rather than blindly following are often more powerful; those who can introspect setbacks instead of indulging in the emotion of failure can also gain more growth.
It is not easy to think about problems from multiple perspectives. You need to constantly broaden your horizons and be open to new possibilities and perspectives. While digging deeper on this path of thinking, you are also deepening your understanding of yourself - knowing who you are, where you are going, and how to deal with challenges.
The ultimate goal is to find your own uniqueness and gladly accept all the challenges and opportunities it brings - this may be the greatest source of confidence for everyone.
Let's encourage each other!
