Confidence Definition
- Confidence is the consistent, felt experience of success.
- It's built on a "stack of undeniable proof," but requires emotional integration.
Confidence Paradox
- Confidence requires action, but action requires confidence, creating a difficult cycle.
- This is similar to the job market paradox of needing experience to get a job.

- Act before feeling fully confident; initial phases are always challenging.
- A premature confidence can be helpful as a temporary solution.
