I’m getting bombarded with calls about whether students are confirmed scholars – that they will get the grant.
I’m talking to a close friend about a possible relationship. She just wants confirmation that the guy feels the same way.
Confirmation is like expecting a genie to come out of a lamp without rubbing it.
My shortcut to overcoming fear’s defensive method of convincing you that you need confirmation is that the feeling itself is confirmation enough.
Outside of typical fears such as a fear of height, being afraid means that you are thinking about something risky, special, and all-so-worth-it. Cut yourself a break and realize that the desire for a confirmation is confirmation.
If it wasn’t worth it, if you weren’t right, if it wasn’t meant to be, then you would never need or ask for confirmation in the first place, now would you?
