If you don't have very strong emotions or very intense thoughts about something, you cannot get depressed. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Life is rooted in reality, not in your thoughts and emotions. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.~ Eckhart Tolle The most beautiful moments in your life – moments of bliss, moments of joy, moments of ecstasy, moments of utter peace – were moments when you were not thinking about anything. You were just living. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
Confidence like intelligence is highly overrated. Its says nothing about the quality of a person. Even serial killers can posses those qualities. Far better to place more emphasis on characteristics like integrity which relates more to a person's behavior more so than their abilities.
Confidence is not overrated. It is essential. A person without confidence is set up for failure. A person with integrity but no confidence would have good intentions but be unsuccessful at achieving their goals, while a person with confidence but no integrity has become our President.
