It Is In You

"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." - Marcus Tullius Cicero (Ancient Roman Lawyer, Writer, Scholar, Orator and Statesman, 106 BC-43 BC)

To make change in your life and impact others, you need to have confidence in yourself. There can be no lasting improvement in attitude or ability without it. To have it will give you the power to make changes and impact others.

It is a matter of believing in yourself...in trusting yourself...in being that person you want to be. Without confidence, there is a part of you that will not be able to change lives, including yourself. This confidence is within everyone, me, you and those people you interact with on a daily basis.

Take a moment and believe in yourself. Let those issues that are holding you back go and grab onto a belief in you. There are going to be failures but without failures success will never occur. An example is a very dear woman I know. She felt that her ability to speak in front of others was simply not hers to have. It was a piece of confidence that was missing.

But there were others in her life that gave her support, gave her belief in herself, kept her believing in herself. What did it accomplish? It was confidence she finally saw in herself. She has had very successful presentations, speaking in front of varied groups. But the confidence that builds in a person will persevere. That confidence in turn will flow from her (or yourself) in helping others. Do those things in life to build your confidence in you and in others.
