Firstly, it is important to understand that lack of self-confidence is a common issue that affects many people at different points in their lives. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including past experiences, negative self-talk, and comparison to others. However, there are several things that can be done to improve self-confidence:

1. Identify your strengths: Take some time to reflect on your skills and accomplishments. Make a list of your achievements and the things you do well. Focusing on your strengths can help you recognize your own worth and build confidence.

2. Challenge negative self-talk: Pay attention to the things you say to yourself and challenge negative thoughts. Replace negative statements with more positive ones. For example, instead of saying “I can’t do this”, say “I may not be great at this yet, but I can learn and try my best.”

3. Set realistic goals: Set small, achievable goals for yourself. Successfully meeting these goals can boost confidence and provide a sense of accomplishment.

4. Practice self-care: Take care of your physical and mental health. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, eat nutritious food, and take time to relax and do things you enjoy. When you feel good physically, you are more likely to feel confident.

5. Surround yourself with positive people: Spend time with people who uplift and support you. Being around positive people can help you feel more confident and motivated.

6. Try new things: Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone. Trying new things can help you build new skills and gain confidence in your abilities.

Remember, building self-confidence is a process that takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and celebrate even small victories. With consistent effort, you can improve your self-confidence and lead a more fulfilling life. If your self-confidence issues persist despite your efforts, it may be helpful to speak to a therapist or mental health professional who can provide guidance and support.

After my dad left, your videos have become my greatest strength and guiding force Sadhguru 😭🙏🏽

I have no confidence, only clarity.
Knowledge means you have fixed ideas which change with time.
Every complex (inferiority, superiority, etc) is a problem.
Most are trapped in their confidence (information, and knowledge). Be alert and present as it happens.
Be relevant (clarity), not right (confident).
Thanks Sadhguru. 🏍🍰🍨🐘⚓🏆🧀✔🤠🍷

Amazing man.. "this is why I'm with you" 🙏♥️

[simplify]

Clarity over life means seeing as it is at every instance of moment throughout the life, that's the real confidence...

[richardbrophy]

"This is why I am with you! " .I have never heard a man make so much sense and correct people immediately when they say stuff like " there are more gurus in India than traffic lights " ---" That's not true ", he will correct. But this Guru is the best I have ever heard . He is a kind of spiritual Nicola Tesla and Elon Musk, in terms of the clarity he brings to us all, and an amazing helper to me personally.

Sadhguru I really want you to know that you have made such a positive impact on my life 💙 I really want to say thankyou.

[nirkaya]

"This is why I'm with you" 🙏🙏🙏🙏 i wonder how someone can have such clarity such that they can see future issues as well 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

[siddaramsakhare]

If human being moves ahead in life without caring difficult situations& even better situations he or she will stand up with life because of confidence in life. He or she will lead successful life.

[avarniya_editzz]

I'm completely agree with Sadhguru.
Because I Have Experienced All These Things That Sadhguru Said.

[lilithphoenix]

I love that he touched on the word complex, being a serious problem. That is by definition what “something is complex” means, that it is a serious problem.

Superiority, Inferiority or God, etc... Complex = you have a problem with these things.

Most simply put.

[criticalthinking]

The only way to have both confidence with clarity is through humility.

I really want to express that sadguru has been a major influencer in my life bringing out the positive kind person inside me. He made me rethink a lot of life questions.

There's a line from a famous Telugu song from movie, Krishnam Vandhe Jagathgurum...
"నరునిలోని పరునిపై దృష్టి పరపగా, తల వంచి, కైమోడ్చి శిష్యుడవు నీవైతే నీ ఆర్తి కడదేర్చు ఆచార్యడవు నీవే"

"You are the master of your own if you found, understood, bestowed and worshipped the one within you"
