Confidence

Confidence is the inner strength and self-assurance that allows you to trust in your abilities, make clear decisions, and face challenges with courage. It is rooted in self-worth, resilience, and personal empowerment—not just outward projection, but deep inner stability.

In magical and spiritual practice, working with the intention of confidence helps dispel self-doubt, boost self-esteem, and ignite the courage to move boldly forward in life.
