Esther Perel has the definition of confidence that I love the most.
I'm going to paraphrase it because I can never do her words justice.
But basically, it's like having knowledge of both your gifts and strengths and also your flaws and not being moved in either direction.
Confidence is this.
The intentional owning of your existence and identity and the acceptance of it, the contentment of all of who you are and not allowing it to be easily moved or swayed by success nor failure.
And having the courage to be OK with that, like to not just OK, like I settled for OK, but like to really embrace that.
And I think a lot of times confidence comes down to, OK, well, I need a haircut or I need, you know, what does the makeup look like?
I need like I...
I was preaching one time my wig started slipping.
I took my wig off, which is worthy of doing a whole nother podcast about.
But people are like, oh, my gosh, how did you do that?
I'm like, I mean, the hair is nice, but it's not who I am.
Like, it doesn't define me.
I don't wish that it happened, but I'm not going to be afraid to be up here with a wig cap on because like most people know this isn't my hair anyway.
It's long one day, it's short the next week.
I am so OK with who I am that I can step into any moment, no matter how
humiliating it may feel on the surface and say, you know what, this is my truth and I got to step into it.
Confidence is not about how I look.
Confidence is about who I am on the inside and being able to hold on to that.
Yeah.
