Determination and Self-Confidence: A Mutual Relationship

Every decision we make, including the decision to enhance self-confidence, requires a careful evaluation of the balance between "pleasure" and "pain." When faced with a decision, we consciously or unconsciously weigh the alternatives and their consequences. This involves questions such as:

What are the benefits of making this decision?

What are the potential rewards?

How much pleasure will this decision bring me?

What are the possible negative consequences?

 

For example, learning a new skill may bring numerous future benefits, but it may require short-term sacrifices such as time and effort. However, if we focus on the advantages that will come our way, our determination will remain strong.
