In good deeds, challenges, books, in ourselves or in community, in a child’s laughter or in the middle of a crisis. Where confidence is now to be found can probably not be answered in one sentence. What is certain is that it is usually not a matter of great things or actions.

It’s about this small, inner shift that has to do with how one looks at the world. In any case, it’s a wonderful thing to philosophize about. Perhaps confidence is even its own philosophy. The invitation to share their thoughts on the topic of confidence has also turned some CommUnitees into philosophers.

True to the motto:
