From your worst day begins an irreversible and progressive connection with the rules of life.

Your worst day is also one of the most precious; it can open the door to the deepest level of self-confidence, often called faith.

We are accustomed to measuring ourselves against adversity, judging our performance by how and when we can overcome it. Simply put, we gain confidence when we achieve positive results. However, there is a level of confidence that can become irreversible and independent of individual results. It forces us to mutate and trust beyond rational knowledge of ourselves and the world.

To truly understand our ability to understand the rules of the game, from work to relationships, we are often forced to observe what happens on the worst days; it is precisely when things spiral out of control and undermine a belief system that it is possible to measure the quality of the decisions made. It is from this alone that you can tell the difference between taking advantage of fortunate and occasional circumstances, and being able to make a series of effective decisions in a deliberate and conscious manner.

When you go through a period in which a series of successive positive or negative events occur, you may feel confused, elated, or frightened: In either case, focusing your attention on too narrow a time frame and on necessary and binding effects will distort your prospects for success, not that you will overestimate or underestimate your abilities.

An individual can know faith, or in other words, reach the deepest level of confidence, by stepping outside the boundaries of interpretation to maintain his or her decision-making and productive abilities even in moments of psychological and emotional tension, by changing his or her perception of the “problem”.

This allows one to project long-term expectations of success and to replace day-to-day anxiety with confidence in one’s ability to perceive an additional layer of reality as one goes along. Empathy for the surrounding things is one of the best ways to begin to give wings to your confidence. This has the immediate effect of freeing your attention, for a few moments, from commitments, from expectations, and most of all, from ordinary perceptions of yourself.
