Genuine confidence is a way of thinking about yourself and your abilities. Confidence is your perception of your own potential; it’s a kind of long-term thinking that powers you through the obstacles and tough times, helping you solve problems and putting you in the way of success. Your confidence is quite a separate matter from your social skills.
John Eliot, Ph.D.

John Eliot, Ph.D.
What turns ordinary people into overachievers is the way they use their minds when they are called on to perform.
Carlos Castaneda
"Death is our eternal companion. It is always to our left, an arm's length behind us. Death is the only wise adviser that a warrior has. Whenever he feels that everything is going wrong and he's about to be annihilated, he can turn to his death and ask if that is so. His death will tell him that he is wrong, that nothing really matters outside its touch. His death will tell him, I haven't touched you yet.'"
John Eliot, Ph.D.
Confidence is not a guarantee of success, but a pattern of thinking that will improve your likelihood of success, a tenacious search for ways to make things work.
John Eliot, Ph.D.
Great performers welcome pressure.
John Eliot, Ph.D.
High achievers dwell on what they do well and spend very little time evaluating themselves and their performances.
