[Manifesto] The Self-Confidence Manifesto
PE reader Lenin requested for a manifesto on self-confidence, and I thought – “Hey, why not? That’s a great idea!”
So here we have it – The Self-Confidence Manifesto.
Great to remind us that at the end of the day, confidence really just begins on the inside:

Ask Celes – How Do I Prepare For My Comeback in Life?
This is part of the Ask Celes series, where readers were invited to ask me anything they want. The section is now over but you can read all Q&As here: Ask Celes Section.

Hi Celes! I want to make a big comeback in the game of life, I really want to live the life of my dreams. I tired of being a spectator just existing and not living on this earth. How do you suggest I prepare for my comeback? – Desiree
Hi Desiree, my first thought is that if you are using the word “game” to describe life, you may want to rethink how you see it.
While some gurus or experts like to refer to life as a play/game/show, and that we are the characters inside, I think these are delusional thoughts. It’s perfectly fine to use them as analogies to bring out a point, but ultimately life isn’t some stage play or video game (unless we’re in some computer simulation that we don’t know of, like in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time). Life is what it is, and we are here to make the best out of it.
That said, let’s get to the question – How can one prepare for a comeback…
