Week 3 – Cc – Confidence (noun)
Confidence is a vital part of our very being. Without confidence we are unable to live to our fullest and our inner joy begins to fade. I strongly believe that our confidence is built by the adults that are a part of our life growing up. If you live with people who only see what you did wrong, then you are likely to grow up with low confidence in yourself.
Finding a way to fully BELIEVE in yourself and display a true self-confidence is something that will surely take more than a week, but I intend to break the seal this week. I want to find a way to have a deeper confidence in myself so that I may move forward in life and not be stuck in the same moment forever.
