Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clyde Lee Dennis. Here and today in our seven Good
Minutes extra segment, we're exploring this profound truth about self
assurance being built in quiet moments rather than grand gestures.
There's something deeply countercultural about this wisdom. We live in
a society that celebrates the big wins, the dramatic transformations,
the moments when confidence is on full display. We see

(00:22):
people accepting awards, giving powerful speeches, or achieving major milestones,
and we think that's when they became confident. But the
truth is those public moments of confidence are simply the
visible expression of something that was built in private, in
the small daily choices to value themselves before anyone else
had the opportunity to validate or invalidate them. Think about

(00:43):
it this way. When you honor your own worth in
the quiet of your morning routine, when you speak kindly
to yourself before anyone else has spoken to you, When
you acknowledge your strengths before the world has a chance
to point out your weaknesses, you're making a radical declaration
of independence from external validation. This is where real, lasting
self assurance lives, not in the applause of others, but

(01:05):
in the steady, quiet recognition of your own inherent value,
not in perfect performance, but in the consistent choice to
treat yourself with the respect and kindness you deserve. The
world will always have opinions about you. Some days those
opinions will be favorable, other days they won't. But when
you've built your self assurance in those quiet morning moments,

(01:25):
when you've established your worth independent of external feedback, you
become unshakable in the most beautiful way. This doesn't mean
you become arrogant or dismissive of other's perspectives. It means
you become grounded in your own truth, able to receive
feedback without being destroyed by criticism or inflated by praise.
You become someone who can engage authentically with the world

(01:47):
because you're not desperately seeking validation from it. Here's something
to reflect on. What would change in your life if
your sense of worth was established before you left your
house each morning? How might your interactions shift if you
entered each day already knowing your value, rather than hoping
others would confirm it for you. Let me offer you
this affirmation. I choose to honor my worth in the

(02:07):
quiet moments, knowing that this inner recognition is the foundation
of all authentic confidence. The beautiful paradox is that when
you stop seeking validation from the world, you often receive
more genuine appreciation from others. People are naturally drawn to
those who are comfortable in their own skin, who don't
need constant reassurance or approval Until next time. I'm Clyde
