Having confidence in your brilliance!
by bellhut
This concept is something that I have struggled with a lot. Some of my friends are wonderfully creative and I feel like my ideas are nothing in comparison! Struggling through this notion and coming out the other end is something that will be beneficial, and it will also help with the frustrations I have mentioned in a previous post (see http://wp.me/p4nuwt-7).
In the video, it is mentioned that maybe even famous musicians share this feeling. A few months ago I had a bit of ‘Lorde’ YouTube session, and I discovered that she thinks that her Grammy winning song, ‘Royals’, is nothing special or new. The massive amounts of critical acclaim and fame that she has received since releasing her debut album contradicts her thoughts completely.
So how do this relate to me? Having confidence in your ideas is something that will always be linked to the teaching profession. I need confidence to be able to present to my classes new and innovative ideas. I need to remember the mantra in this video – obvious to me, amazing to others.

My whole life I have struggled with voicing my ideas because I was too scared about them being boring or lame. I have come across this clip which has made me feel more confident about broadcasting ideas because it may not be boring at all. Enjoy!

This video is a great example of how sharing ideas works most effectively when you let go of your self-doubt and fear! We are all learners here. Thanks Bridget for posting this!!

I love Bridget’s take on this! I agree, be confident in your brilliance! While others tell me I’m creative, I feel I try so hard to be, but for others it’s effortless and much better than my own. I suppose I’ve been brought up to play things down, not to boast, and therefore, I feel that my achievements aren’t really that impressive. I find this video engaging and inspiring. I love how it’s set out, basic yet beautiful. Mostly though, the content is relevant, but the video brings the message alive!
