Guest guest Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I always liked this guy, though he got a bad rap from an unenlightened society. In this clip he offers a nice ACT-relevant quote: " One can only be happy when he realizes that the aim of life is not to be happy. " Very simple but very true. Realizing it is truly a game changer.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Weird, because when we truly accept ourselves we become more confident, but when try to become confident, we ofen feel a failure. Even the act of trying to become more confident suggests that there is something wrong with us, which can damage confidence. I should realy change the 'we's' to 'I's', as I don't know if this is true for other people. Kv > > I always liked this guy, though he got a bad rap from an unenlightened society.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 A small twist to my last post: If you truly accept yourself you will most likey become more confident, but if you try to become more confident so that you can accept yourself it will most likely fail. So it seems that accepting some diffidence can actaully boost confidence. I was at a company meeting the other day where we had to read parts out of a book. I did my best and belowed my parts out quite clearly but not really knowing what I said, but when everyone responded positively I knew it must have sounded okay. But my manager was really nervous making many mistakes but he was okay about this. We all understood what he meant and I had much respect for him. This meeting wasn't about whether you was nervous speaking in public or not, but about the content. He was good at getting the point across.
