New on TikTok: Unlock Your Power_ Marcus Garvey’s Wisdom on Self-Confidence and Overcoming Doubt Marcus Garvey said, “If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you have started.” The first battle is always in the mind. Doubt defeats you before the world even has a chance. But when you believe in yourself and your belief is grounded in ancestral and cultural knowledge, you carry a force bigger than fear. Confidence like that turns effort into victory, draws people to your side, and transforms setbacks into stepping-stones. Today, act from that place of rooted confidence. Take one bold step forward. You’ve already started winning. Q: What did Garvey mean by “twice defeated”? A: He meant that self-doubt destroys you before any real challenge even begins. Confidence is the first victory. Q: How can I apply this today? A: Replace hesitation with one decisive action. Ground your confidence in who you are and where you come from. Q: Why does this matter in 2025? A: Because the world profits from your insecurity. Rooted confidence is resistance—and it makes you unstoppable. #MarcusGarvey #BlackHistory #BlackPower #PanAfricanism #Garveyism #BlackLiberation #UnstoppableYou #DailyGarveyWisdom {"@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "VideoObject", "name": "If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life", "description": "Marcus Garvey’s lesson on confidence grounded in ancestral and cultural knowledge—why it matters today and how to apply it.", "thumbnailUrl": "https://ift.tt/LxcTRAJ", "uploadDate": "2025-08-20", "duration": "PT59S", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "The Garvey Classroom", "logo": {"@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://ift.tt/RVE9Uge"}}, "contentUrl": "https://ift.tt/yVCNP1w", "embedUrl": "https://ift.tt/V6fLwRc"}
