Self confidence

Some life struggle is good for us since it develops appreciation for what we have. It’s good for the soul, as long as the struggle leads to a more interesting personality. However rich or however poor we are, if we’re interesting enough we’ll have no trouble attracting people towards us and eventually our ideas. I don’t mean being a show-off extrovert who’s good at parties, but having a personality that’s growing in uniqueness and sovereignty. By acknowledging ours and others’ sovereign right to a life, we recognise the unique individual who is worth something in their own right. If nothing else, this gives us self confidence to combat social isolation. It helps us to lead the fashion and not follow it, to say “yes, go ahead”, boycott, do what is necessary and not back off when things get rough. This is the same confidence that says no when we’re tempted. If it is lacking in our world and we keep giving in to exactly what our brain washers want us to, then our biggest problems surround the dilemma of giving in or standing firm.
