Confidence and Self Esteem

The greatest challenges to your confidence come when you're facing a situation that looks impossible. When this happens, you must tap in to the unseen force of self-assurance so that you can press beyond supposed limits. It's not a matter of what things look like on the outside - the key is to recognize what you have working on the inside.

Confidence is often the missing link to seeing yourself accomplish the impossible. You just have to believe that you have what it takes to be successful, and don't back down from your capable stance.

You are in control of your thoughts. If you choose to believe you have confidence - that you're energized - then you will be. The next time you face a big challenge, take a deep breath and fill your heart with the belief that you have unlimited energy running through your veins. Build your confidence by reflecting on those things you've already accomplished. If you did it once, you can certainly do it again.

Today, receive the confidence you deserve-and you'll find that you always had it within you.

Don't confuse Self-esteem with Arrogance

Arrogance is an over evaluation of your worth, while self-esteem is a healthy opinion of yourself--it's valuing yourself to the point that you don't allow other people or negative situations and circumstance to influence the way you feel about yourself. Until you value yourself, you won't value anything, and other people won't value you either. After all, your relationship with yourself is the most important one you'll ever have.

When you're filled with self-doubt, give yourself a little pep talk. Repeat "[Your name], you are great! You are a unique individual, a new kind of person the world has never known. You were born to do well. You were born to succeed. You were born to bless the lives of others. You were born to be great, and you have what it takes to be great. You are enthusiastic, optimistic, and a change-embracer. You are a giver, rather than a taker. You are organized. You are a hard worker. You are happy. You are a master over yourself, you are a leader. You are a big thinker. As blessed as you are with all these talents, there isn't one thing in the world you can't do. You will never fail. [Your name], go out and make today an 'attitude is everything' day!"

By making this profession every day, you'll experience an awesome self-esteem boost! Remember, you are priceless-your past is history, and your future is now!
