Realizing Castaneda's "Conspiracy of the Immortals" is a huge stride in the way of your behaviour. Realizing that the worst thing that can happen to you is death, you have nothing to lose (because you've already lost everything).

Gaining confidence through wallowing in your own ego is the biggest inferiority complex one can have. The reason for that being is that you're fluffing your self-importance making you nothing but an insecure snob. And the only thing anyone wants to see happen to a snob is fuck up so they can laugh at them.

:lol:

If you realize that the worst thing that can happen to you is your death, you have nothing to lose. Your confidence goes through the roof because you are completely indifferent to what criticism or negative remarks you may receive. Tranquility will bring you freedom once you escape the shackles of your ego.

"Realizing Castaneda's "Conspiracy of the Immortals"
I wondered if anyone caught the reference. It is a very valid paradigm.

--------------------
"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda
