History is filled with examples of people who ended up successful who started with nothing and others who overcame the most challenging of circumstances. Learn as much as a you can from those who overcome. What you’ll find is that you CAN improve your self-confidence if you work at it. 

People who build self confidence are committed to not avoiding things, keep promises to themselves, and they don’t play it safe. 

What do you believe about these 4 CONFIDENCE statements?

  1. I was made for a purpose, and if I allow it, great things are ahead for me.
  2. I’m a worthy regardless of my performance, successes, and failures.
  3. There are people who love me just as I am regardless of my performance, successes, and failures.
  4. I have great influence over my future because of the DECISIONS I make to value myself. 

If you believed all of the above in your heart – and you should because they’re true – how would that impact you? I mean really believe. Not just a cognitive “in your head” type of belief, but a confident “I know these things are really true about me” experiential type of belief. What would happen? How would I think differently?

Confidence means having faith in yourself and believing the best about yourself. Rate your current level of overall self-confidence on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 is low and 10 is high). Or rate your confidence in a specific area of your life (e.g. socially, career, etc.) Now imagine having a confidence level of 10 consistently and answer the following 6 questions. Write down whatever comes up for you.
