Confidence

This week we've been going over the formula to success. Although it starts with your attitude, beliefs, and thoughts; the action is necessary. The consistent and persistent drive down the path toward your dream unveils the last element of the formula, that being confidence.

This element is so critical because it is the answer for your doubts, the will to continue on, the power to overcome obstacles. Confidence must be learned and experienced. This comes from identifying the positive steps made toward your goals and realizing the process can be repeated. Celebrate your gains to reinforce your new found confidence. This is why so many people have trouble with their goals. They are surrounded by doubt, beaten into the ground with defeat from prior experiences, so they retreat back to their comfort zone.

Another problem that people run into when trying to develop their confidence, is that they think it will lead to pride, conceit, and egotism. As always, balance in life is a good thing. Too much of anything can lead to a downfall.

As always, the choice is yours. You can choose to continue on toward your dream, each step gaining confidence, stamina, and determination. Or you can fall back to your comfort zone and be forever bound by the contracts of indentured servitude.

What will you decide?

"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him." Luke 8:16-18 (NIV)

"Is not your fear of God your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?" Job 4:6 (NASB)
