The paradox lies in the fact that to acquire self-confidence you have to let go of wanting to acquire it. The labyrinth’s walls are made out of importance. You are walking round the labyrinth trying to get rid of your insecurity and acquire self-confidence. Confidence is a wild goose chase, another pendulum invention, a deceptive mirage, a trap for importance. Confidence is a pendulum game in which they always win. Where there is belief there is always room for doubt. Likewise, where there is confidence, there is always room for hesitation and indecisiveness.
