You have the power....
You have the power to become confident, if you want to, and if you go about it the
right way. Everyone has this power and it doesn’t matter how lacking in confidence
you are now.
You can change your way of thinking. You can use your imagination differently. You
can alter your way of speaking. You can let go of destructive habits and change
your behaviour. You can do all this now, from this moment on. Then over time your
confidence will grow and you’ll feel better and better about yourself with each
passing day.
How do I know?
Firstly because I know hundreds of people personallywho have become more con-
fident, and I know of thousands more.
Secondly, they include the person with whom I spend the most time – myself. In my
teens I had no confidence whatsoever. I couldn’t even bring myself to say hello to
people I didn’t know. Then, in my mid-20s, I decided to do something about it. I
started reading self-help books and attending courses and seminars. I worked on
myself. I’ve since accomplished many things I could not have envisaged in those
far off days, including speaking to large audiences. I have far exceeded my initial
expectations. And I’m still improving.
I’m no different from you. If I can do it, so can you!
Every single step makes a difference, so start right away. Take responsibility. Sow
the seeds of confidence and watch them grow. Millions have already done so and
now it’s your turn!
4 WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY?
We have to learn to be our own best friend because
we fall too easily into the trap of being our own
worst enemies.
