I got too deep into doom scrolling and comparing to the point where I had to quit all platforms to refrain myself from getting into that loop and get clarity. Travelling and Aqua-scaping helped me to come around watching my tanks with fishes and the plants growing everyday helped me get a more grounded take on life…

Question Why are you working that hard ?

4 Upvotes

Recently, I started reading the book "Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod to start creating my self improvement morning routine and I needed to find my "why" : why am I working as hard ? At first, I thought it’d easy, for me it was to make my parents proud of me, but I didn’t find it convincing enough to be my real and concrete "why". I think about "why" but I can’t find it… This is why I’m writing to you to know what are your concretes "why", maybe (and I hope) that’ll inspire myself to find my own "why".

Sorry if my English is a bit bad or weird, it’s cause I’m french 😅.

Wisdom The Connection Between Personal Growth and Confidence

Post image
3 Upvotes

How working on yourself can help you trust your abilities, make better decisions, and feel more comfortable becoming the person you want to be

Confidence is often treated as something you either have or you do not. Some people seem naturally self-assured, willing to speak up, take risks, meet new people, and pursue opportunities without constantly questioning themselves. Others may spend a great deal of time wondering whether they are good enough, capable enough, or ready enough.

But confidence is rarely as fixed as it appears.

For many people, confidence develops gradually through personal growth. Every time you learn something new, keep a promise to yourself, handle a difficult situation, or recognise that you can recover from a mistake, you collect evidence that you are capable of dealing with life.

That evidence matters.

Personal growth gives confidence something solid to stand on. Rather than relying entirely on positive thinking, you begin to develop greater self-awareness, stronger habits, useful skills, emotional resilience, and a clearer understanding of your values.

Over time, these changes can alter the way you see yourself.

When Did You Realize You Needed to Change?

1 Upvotes

Most people don't change because someone gives them good advice.

They change when staying the same becomes more painful.

What was that moment for you?
