What is confidence?
The dictionary reads: belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities.
It seems like we were born with an indisputable sense of confidence, doesn't it? You probably remember… being young-lings, the world had no boundaries… We could have, do and be, anything we wanted? A time when being an astronaut didn't seem farfetched, and neither did becoming president or singer? We couldn't wait to grow up!
Interestingly enough, for almost all of us, something happened since… Life, adversities, challenges, however you want to call it! THAT happened, and suddenly we stopped believing in ourselves as we once did. Suddenly, the limitless world we once knew, has limitations. It became hard to chase our dreams, even impossible at times. The world was no longer bright blue and pink, but coated with shades of gray, and neutrals. We're not the invincible superhumans we thought we were, we're fragile and easily broken. We have boundaries. We're not good enough anymore; we doubt, we worry, and we fear.
I can't think of one person who hasn't had adversities. We've all had our share of demons, and we've all gone through hardships. The problem is, that we've somehow allowed these hardships, and people, and life in general, to take control over us, and tell us how to be and feel. Unconsciously, we've allowed fear, doubts, and what we know as insecurities, to creep in and shape the course of our lives.
If there's a piece within you relating to this, you are not alone! I've gone through that, and most likely everybody that you know has gone through it as well. We were all at some point – dreamers.
But we're not in this alone, and as I was going through my own beaten path, I realized that I HAVE to gain more confidence! I HAVE to figure out HOW to do it, and then SHARE that with you. We're in this together!! Like I mention in the video. we will do more in-depth work that will help get to the bottom of the insecurities and fix the problem from the source. But up until then, we have to start with little changes. If you follow ALL the tips I'm sharing with you in this video, consistently, for a while, you will start building self confidence. You will be well on your way toward self improvement.
So enjoy this week's video. Please LIKE and SHARE it, to perpetuate the act of kindness. It's your turn to be kind to other people and give them the gift of confidence. I appreciate you for being here, be kind to yourself and to all those around you!
