Confidence or Blindness

Confidence is understanding your skills and strengths. Confidence is understanding your potential and how far you can push yourself to achieve your goals. Confidence is not being blind to your mistakes; it is not being blind to the situation at hand; it is not be blind to the harm you cause yourself or others; it is not ignoring self knowledge; it is not refusing to admit your mistakes; confidence is not blindness.

Confidence is understanding where you are in your life with your skills and strengths and considering those in your short term goals, pushing yourself always, but never being blind. Confidence gives the ability to push on when things look like you may not succeed. Confidence does not boast. Confidence performs.

Blindness boasts of what it cannot deliver. Blindness refuses to admit its mistakes and failing, thus missing the opportunities to grow and learn. Blindness considers its own mistakes and decides someone else’s failure caused its own failure.

Do you own your own failure, or do you always find a way to blame someone else? If you always blame someone else you may not be able to recognize this problem in yourself, so this advice may fall on deaf ears. Do not be blind to your own mistakes; they are experiences that you can learn from.

Confidence is good; it is fuel for our successes; it pushes us; it gives us hope in the face of defeat. Confidence is important.

Blindness is not confidence; it holds us back; it hinders our growth; it clouds our vision; it robs us of learning; Blindness must be cured.

I urge everyone to have confidence and implore them to recognize their blindness.

Are you confident or blind? To be successful you need confidence. To mimic success for a time being blind will work, but only so long.
