Sorry, its hard to express exactly what I mean when my mind is not a 100% made up on the subject. Or any subject  |
I know what you mean. If I were 100% made up on this, I wouldn't have started the thread. LOL.
I've been thinking about how powerful belief really is. There is no other creature on the planet that can change what they believe or can even understand what belief is. Everything we know, do or say is somehow driven by what we believe.
I said somewhere in this thread that confidence is about certainty of belief. When I am uncertain about what I believe, all the power of believing in the first place gets leaked out of my being.

Interesting point you make about it not being to your standards. I can find myself in that. In conversations I have with people I find myself to be quite specific/perfectionist and still thinking about subjects thus not coming across as confident. Lots of "eehhhss" and "hmmmms" that we ourselves or our subconscience might perceive as inconfident?

Something tells me there is merit in being certain even if you are wrong. Might work better than what I've done so far.
