Shetty Says Confidence Comes From Competence and Self-Evidence Not Affirmations
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Always “Too Tired” After Work? 5 Shifts to Optimize Your 5–9 and Finally Build the Life You Want
What was said
"Confidence comes from building competence and evidence that you show up for yourself. When you build your skills and competence, and when you show up for yourself repeatedly and build evidence, that's where you get confidence from."
Jay Shetty presented a psychological framework contradicting popular self-help advice that emphasizes affirmations and positive thinking. He argued that genuine confidence is the byproduct of accumulated skill-building and repeated proof of self-reliability, not motivational mantras, and that this confidence then radiates into all areas of life.
