And that puts a lot of pressure on us, because the goals we think we have to achieve are not clear, they are not measurable, they are not rational, saying to ourselves: "Ah! Well I'm going to try to achieve this goal to be recognized", it is not rational, it is often not measurable. And when it is measurable, it is not true anyway, it is not something that really shows that we have succeeded and above all it is not in our control. We do not control the opinion that others have of us for example. So, we are under pressure.
That's why the vast majority of people have a problem with self-confidence, because they base themselves on their emotional, irrational part, on their chimpanzee, on results that they think they should achieve. To be a good person: I have to get this result, I have to do well in my studies, I have to have this type of job, I have to make this type of decision, I have to have this state of mind, I have to think this. We judge by saying to ourselves: "Because this is what my parents would want, because this is what my friends would want, because this is what my colleagues at work think is best". So, we base ourselves on all these external things.
When in fact, the solution is quite simple. The solution is the human part of our brain. Wait, I have a beast on my… it’s a weird beast on my leg. In fact, today, in “Walking with Johan”, I’m wearing shorts and there was a beast, an insect on my leg.
But we should, to have more confidence in ourselves, we should simply listen to the rational part of our brain, that is to say the human part of our brain, which is based on doing one's best. Its criterion is not any result linked to emotions or linked to the recognition of others. The human, that's not what interests it the most. The human, it focuses more on doing its best. And by definition, we cannot do better than our best.
So if we do something, a project, learning a language, whatever, and we do our best, that is to say we really spend the time and put in the effort that is needed, we really do the best france whatsapp number data we can do and we base our self-confidence on that fact, on the fact of doing our best, well, we already have great news, it is in our power, we control that, we can guarantee that we will do our best. I cannot guarantee that I will succeed in a future project related to Authentic French, that this project will please people, I cannot guarantee that because it is not in my power. On the other hand, I can guarantee that
And that, suddenly, takes a lot of pressure off. We have a lot more power because, once again, doing our best is easy to promise, it's easy to control. This power that we take back, it takes away stress and it adds confidence in ourselves. More power, less stress and therefore more confidence in ourselves just by moving our cursor a little bit, just by moving a little bit, by changing our way of thinking a little bit, by focusing on doing our best rather than focusing on the result that we don't directly control.
Obviously, it's very difficult to do in reality, it's not always easy to apply. For a content creator like me for example, it's very easy when I create content to focus on the result that I don't control, again, by definition, for example on a number of views. If I release a YouTube video, I can focus on a result, on the number of views. And if the number of views, the result is low or lower than what I hoped, well I'm going to be disappointed and I'm going to lose confidence in myself. And that's happened to me many times. I don't know, there must be 600 videos on the Français Authentique YouTube channel. I've had disappointments.
