CONFIDENCE

Gandhi said, “Action expresses priorities.” He also said, “To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest,” which is what psychologists call “Cognitive dissonance” — the state of internal conflict. You can’t be confident if you don’t trust yourself. Confidence is a byproduct of congruent and successful behaviour.

Confidence is the emotional state of someone whose PRIOR action was intentional and accurate of the person they planned on being.

According to research by Dr Ronit Bodner and Dr Drazen Prelec, “Actions provide a signal to ourselves, that is, actions are self-signaling.” In other words, your actions provide a signal to you of the type of person you are.
