8. A Note on Building Confidence

External Validation: Nice to Have, but not Essential

Before building confidence, praise is like oxygen🍃, but confidence changes the equation. Now, your own opinion of yourself matters most because you know your worth 🙌🏼. Confident people aren't affected by the absence of external validation👏🏼 because they're secure in their identity.

• An insecure person may constantly wonder, "Do they approve of me? Am I doing okay?"
• With confidence, you value your own opinion of yourself above all else.
• Confident individuals don't crumble without praise because their self-worth isn't reliant on it🚀.
