Confidence

This CHOOSEDAY is all about confidence…

But what is confidence? Generally, it is the feeling or belief that one can have faith in, or rely upon someone or something. That someone can also be yourself, meaning that you have a sure feeling of yourself and your abilities. To have faith in yourself and to trust that you can do something. This should not however, be confused with Ego. Confidence should be portrayed in a humble yet realistic and secure way, not in and arrogant way which so often happens when ego gets in the way. Confidence is not about feeling superior to others. It’s about a quiet, inner knowing that you are capable.

You can have confidence. Sometimes it takes pushing yourself right out of your comfort zone to be able to come out the other side and have that confidence.

You can also build confidence. Building confidence in others and empowering them to notice and understand and accept what gifts and abilities they have, and what they are capable of is a gift of confidence on both sides.
