Quiet Confidence: The Power of Being Humble
()
About this ebook
Confidence is the single most important trait that any person should cultivate. It's also one the hardest to master.
What makes finding confidence so tricky? Are we so blind to our own abilities? Are we listening too much to negative self-talk…or worse, the criticism of others?
Honestly, those are all the surface issues, the impediments to confidence. The true test of how you feel about yourself and how you express these feelings to the world lie in your ability to be humble.
Startled? Hear me out.
It's time to become humbler. Here you're going to discover what comes when you quit playing games. It's with humility you no longer need to get involved in one-upmanship or need to take control of the conversation. Being humble comes of knowing exactly what you're capable of. Imagine not needing to prove those things to anyone, least of all yourself.
In short, being humble will give you such confidence that you will become the master of yourself. And you will do it in such a way that no one can tell you who you are, nor will you need to shout from the rooftops your accomplishments. In this state, you reach what Psychology Today calls 'emotional neutrality' where: "an experience of growth in which you no longer need to put yourself above others, but you don't put yourself below them either."
It is through being humble that confidence grows.
If you're still not sure, then read on. In this book, you're going to find first a discussion about what it means to be humble, including some examples of people known for their humility, some of which might surprise you. From there, you'll learn why being humble matters, with an exclusive look at some side benefits to being humble (like confidence!). Lastly, we'll help you to create the habit of being humble, so you can start reaping the benefits for yourself.
There's real power in being humble. No longer will you need to puff out your chest and tell the world how great you are. Instead, you'll discover the power and even value in setting a quietly confident example.
Let's begin.
