Who is the most confident person you know?
Confidence is an in-born quality—yes or no. More people tend to believe that confidence is developed through training and learning, and more so through living.
There are people who fear nothing and do everything by instinct, while there are others who live in fear and do nothing without fear. People of the first description are not invincible and the latter one is not necessarily a loser.
I often hear talks like “I have full confidence in myself”, but I have yet to meet a human being who is truly invincible. I have, though, seen many of those who discretely exercise their confidence enjoy success continuously.
Then, who am I? Am I a confident person, who has full confidence in myself and who is walking hand-in-hand with “the friend of success”? By birth, perhaps a little bit, but much more so is through hardship and fear that has brought me to whom I am. I learn that a bit of fear adds a bit of spice to my confidence. Confidence without trial and error makes success taste plain. Confidence built through trial and error is more resilient than unearned confidence, as navigating mistakes fosters wisdom, maturity, and a deeper understanding of the path to achievement.
From the day I was born again through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I have been transformed, and am still being transformed, into the likeness of Christ. The Son of God and the Son of Man Christ Jesus is the most confident person I know and I learn from. I can do everything in Christ who gives me confidence and strength to trek through challenges and difficulties (Philippians 4:13).
May you my blog viewers meet with Jesus Christ, who is the Way and the Truth and the Life. In Him, we enjoy love and grace and gifts more than just confidence.

Philippians 4:4-7
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
