Zen Stoic Path Show

In this episode, we dive into a Zen Story that shows us how the wrong kind of confidence can actually lead us into trouble. We dive into what real confidence is vs. false confidence, and how to determine which one you’re experiencing. Lastly, we will reveal the one-word answer to solve suffering.

Show Notes

  • We all want to feel better about ourselves. Life is difficult, there is pain and suffering and sometimes, we would love nothing more than for there to be a quick fix, or for things to be easier and less difficult. And sometimes we turn to things like excessive positive thinking or pumping up our confidence as a means of making things easier on ourselves. 
  • We’ve become addicted to expediency and expectation. What if instead, we approached life with curiosity and appreciation?
  • Building competence in an area of difficulty and developing tested principles is the best use of your time and energy. Pumping yourself up with positive affirmations without developing competency and understanding is a gamble.
  • Bottom line. True confidence comes from competence, experience, and exposure. False confidence comes from delusions of grander, expediency, and conviction over our crutches. (Technology, money, food/drugs, status, relationships)
