Confidence Is There

If we want to present unconditional confidence to others, to help others appreciate this quality in themselves, we don’t have to be pedantic or heavy-handed. Confidence is there. It is a fact. It is the case. But surprisingly, nobody noticed it before! So telling people about this state of being is simply telling the truth. You don’t have to make up anything at all.
