Building Confidence Through Personal Struggles

Excuse me bro, you look extremely confident.

I am not extremely confident.

What makes you confident? I'm not.

But if you had to think about what actually makes you confident, what would it be?

A connection with God, honestly.

When I step away from that connection and I sort of rely on my body or my things to make me confident,

it sort of dries up pretty quickly, but I know that the joy and the bliss and the love that comes with that relationship when we take shelter, that's internal, you know?

So I'd say that's probably my first answer.

It's a beautiful answer. Thank you.

But I want to ask you, was there a challenge? or a struggle that you dealt with growing up that made you a more confident person today?

Yeah, sort of really,

really terrible anxiety to the point where I would sort of be frozen in my body,

I couldn't sort of move, I was terrified of people, terrified of the world, you know?

So to experience things in my life that have sort of dragged me out of that,

and to see that not only I have survived those moments, but also that people have connected with or praised those moments,

that's great and encourages me. me to step out of myself even more.

Yeah, thank you. How do you feel now?

I feel more capable.

I actually, I feel keen to get outside of my comfort zone and do things that require

real vulnerability and to wear my heart on my sleeve.

I love that, honestly. Good for you. Congratulations.

Most people never do. Most people never overcome that. Yeah.

What was your name? Bobby. I'm David. David, nice to meet you. Pleasure to meet you.
