Confidence + Courage
Confidence Virtue gives me absolute inner permission to be who i am without apologizing, without looking back at fear, and without the need to prove anything. Of course, it is becoming harder to notice changes after working with archetypes and Quantum Booster fields, but they are still visible.
I feel like my tendency to self-sabotage at the finish line has disappeared. Before, I used to doubt myself at the last moment, double-checking everything and looking for approval from authorities. Now, I just do it.
This virtue has also increased my decision-making speed. About 15 years ago, I used to be able to enter a state where I acted without overthinking. Then that state faded, but now it seems to be returning, and I love it. After integrating these archetypes and virtues, including Confidence and Courage, I feel like I can do absolutely anything. Even if I lack experience or need to do something completely new and massive, I feel that I will not only get it done but can also guarantee the result. I’m a little cautious of this feeling because there’s a fine line with overconfidence, but honestly, being mega-confident is definitely better than being insecure.
I now have a calm certainty about what is right and how things should be. It doesn’t feel like arrogance, it feels like the healthy autonomy of an adult. The inner tension of “is this right or wrong?” or “is this a good choice?” is gone.
I used to struggle with simple choices-like taking weeks to pick a phone just to make the “best” decision. Now, it’s: “We’re doing this, we’re choosing that, and here’s why.” I don’t fear making a wrong choice, even if I do, I can just make a new, quick decision based on the new circumstances. That’s it.
I remembered a quote from a general: “It is better to make a wrong decision and fix it immediately than to make no decision at all.” I totally agree now, though I didn’t think so before.
By the way, people react to my confidence, especially those who are insecure, and they trust me. I’ve also noticed that people become more confident when they are around me, they definitely pick up on these vibes.
I truly feel like I can handle anything, and it’s a great feeling.
With this confidence, I feel even less need to prove anything. I take my position quietly and firmly. I just say, “These are my terms, they are fair to me.” It doesn’t sound like a challenge, but like a statement of fact. Think of it like this: if cancer cells spread and negatively affect the body, confidence is like a healthy cell that spreads into every area of life and improves it from within.
As I wrote before:
I believe Confidence and Courage are two parts of the same whole, even if they are about different things. I’ve noticed that Courage allows you to jump into the “fight” and decide later if you need it.
It’s not about aggression, but about a lack of resistance when doing things you don’t like or things you fear. For example, I used to dislike reaching out to new people. When I had to make a call but didn’t want to because of my own mental bugs, now with Courage, I just do it without thinking about the fear. There were several situations where I didn’t hesitate at all. I just took the phone and called immediately, and I felt comfortable. Even if there is fear between me and my goal, I do it anyway, though I feel such fears less and less often.
Every virtue I integrate for myself, I also add to my wife’s folder with the MMV2 and a booster. She knows everything and trusts me.
Our family is going through a tough period because of the war, even though our relationship is great. My wife is mentally exhausted by what’s happening and by the fact that relatives are constantly offloading their problems onto her. Anyway, she went to visit her sister in Egypt for a week. She’s been writing to me things like, “Look how I handled this, look how brave I was”-she’s really proud of herself. She told me, “I closed my eyes, stopped being afraid, rented some fins, and went swimming along the reef!” I was so impressed by her overcoming her fears.
This happened shortly after I added those two virtues to her folder.
She has also started being more bold. She’s started speaking up and saying things she used to keep quiet about. It’s very noticeable. I’ve seen her setting personal boundaries with friends: “This is allowed, this is not,” “I don’t want this, I want that.”
I love it. She is an Aries, but over 15 years of marriage, she (and I) lost that natural confidence she used to have. I am so happy these qualities are returning to our family and making us both more whole.
In short, if you’ve struggled with confidence or had experiences that undermined your self-belief, these virtues will definitely help you.
By the way, I recently heard a phrase that went straight to my heart:
“Don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness.”
