~self confidence~

[elfun]

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.
- Carlos Castaneda (from Tales of Power)

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his andfellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.
how- Carlos Castaneda (from Tales of Power)

there is a certain challenge in awareness
and perception that surrounds the writings of Carlos  Castaneda.
 it's a good exercise that helps us look at how we
have imposed boundaries for our own conscious awareness.
 The warrior does not depend on the self confidence generated
from others he is not hooked to his fellow man
but to infinity.
