Where does a feeling of confidence come from? How can we become confident? In this video, I share my understanding of the two kinds of confidence: conditioned & unconditioned.
Some of us are struggling to find a sense of confidence, and some of us already feel confident. But depending on the source of it, our confidence could be weak, strong, or unshakable.
The typical sense of confidence is built on knowledge and experience, and depends on accumulating conditions over time. A lesserdiscussed kind of confidence comes from nonattachment to ideas and knowledge. This may sound like passivity and even lack of confidence, but to the contrary, it's the most unshakable kind of conviction.
Feel free to share your ideas and comment....
