The difficulty most of us have with personal confidence is that we never feel like we have enough. We measure it via comparisons to others, amount of our credentials and feedback from others. These relative reference points are woven into our upbringing, education and culture, yet the dharma suggests a totally radical approach to confidence. That perspective is that when we can release measuring and self-referencing and dive into the depths of our genuine nature, that confidence can be experienced naturally and unconditionally.
