Rule #135 2/28/16

Confidence is the ability to act from your inner authority.

Most of us get easily swayed by others’ opinions, expectations and what we are “supposed to” do, say and feel. Confident people don’t. Confident people make decisions from their inner authority, regardless of the outcome or consequences. This doesn’t mean they are immoral or unethical — it’s actually far from it.
​
Confident people have a respect for others, including themselves. They show it by taking action from their true instincts, not from expectations. If they do go with the grain, they check in with their inner authority first.
