Confidence and Growth

Growth is the ultimate goal of living a fulfilling life. Human life is not meant to be stagnant in whatever aspects. Whether it is social, spiritual, or financial, growth is what makes the experience worthwhile and what makes life worth living.

Think of your past and your present. You will realize that you have experienced growth in different areas. Maybe it is a skill you were learning and now you are an expert at it that is growth. Maybe you were just opening a business and now you have a new branch in a different place, that is growth.

The stairs of desire

The stairs of desire entail that you go through a cycle of wanting, getting, being satisfied, and then starting again with something different.

With the above cycle, growth becomes continuous in your life as every time you get something you feel more fulfilled, and you get a new thing again.

The Frequency Illusion: Have you ever realized that every time you learn something, you start seeing it everywhere?  That is the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, and it simply means that when you learn something you start paying more attention to it.

Remove Resistance: When you focus on growth, you must remove any obstacles in your growth path.  The less resistance you have the more you are likely to achieve your goals. Therefore, remove distractions and be your servant.

Overconfidence

Is overconfidence good or bad? In most situations, overconfidence might be better than under confidence.  However, it is hard to measure confidence thus it is not reasonable to advise people not to be overconfident. Consider that you need confidence, to make discoveries and walk paths that no one is willing to walk.  Being in doubt will not lead to achievement since you can always make mistakes and fall sometimes but it is your willingness to try again that will determine your success.  It doesn’t matter how many times you fail once you succeed.
