Self-confidence without self-awareness is dangerous.
Your senses and emotions lie to you often convincingly.
We often trust our first instincts.
Yet instincts are biased.
They are driven by fears, hopes, and assumptions and not facts.
Actionable:
Today, delay just ONE important decision by an hour.
In that time, list three assumptions behind your first instinct.
Then, challenge each one honestly.
You will be shocked at how your perspective shifts.
Confidence matters. But questioning yourself matters more.
