Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clyde Lee Dennis. Here and today in our seven Good
Minutes Extra segment, we're exploring that profound truth about confidence
being rooted in trust rather than the absence of doubt.
So often we think confidence means never feeling uncertain, never
questioning ourselves, never experiencing that flutter of nervousness before something important.
But this understanding actually keeps us from developing real, lasting

(00:22):
confidence because it sets an impossible standard. No one, no
matter how successful or accomplished, lives without doubt. The wisdom
in our quote today lies in recognizing that confidence isn't
about eliminating doubt. It's about developing such a strong relationship
with your own capabilities that doubt becomes just one voice
among many, rather than the loudest voice in the room.

(00:44):
Think about it this way. When you trust someone deeply,
you don't need them to be perfect to maintain that trust.
You trust them because you've seen how they handle challenges,
how they learn from mistakes, how they show up even
when things are difficult. The same principle applies to self trust.
When you develop trust in your own ability to navigate
whatever arises, you're not saying you'll handle everything perfectly. You're

(01:07):
saying you trust yourself to figure things out, to learn
as you go, to adapt when necessary, and to keep
moving forward even when the path isn't clear. This kind
of trust is built through experience, through showing up for
yourself consistently, through treating yourself with the same patience and
understanding you'd offer a good friend every time you face

(01:28):
uncertainty and find a way through, every time you make
a mistake and learn from it, every time you choose
self compassion over self criticism. You're building this trust. Grace
and wisdom don't mean having all the answers. They mean
approaching life's challenges with openness, curiosity, and faith in your
own resilience. They mean being willing to not know while
trusting that you have the capacity to learn. Here's something

(01:51):
to reflect on. What would change in your life if
you trusted your ability to handle uncertainty as much as
you trust your ability to handle the familiar. How might
your relationship with challenges shift if you saw them as
opportunities to strengthen your self trust rather than threats to
your confidence. Let me offer you this affirmation. I trust
in my ability to learn, grow, and find my way

(02:12):
through whatever life presents to me, and this trust is
the foundation of my quiet confidence. The beautiful paradox of
quiet confidence is that the less you need to prove
your worth to others, the more naturally your authentic worth
shines through. When you trust yourself deeply, others sense that
trust and are naturally drawn to your calm certainty. Until
next time, I'm Clyde Lee Dennis, and this has been
