Monday Motivation - Confidence

Confidence means, "the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust, the state of feeling certain about the truth of something, or a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities." (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj80MKn4LrxAhVFFVkFHZxkBKcQvecEMAB6BAgFEF8&url=https%3A%2F%2Flanguages.oup.com%2Fgoogle-dictionary-en&usg=AOvVaw3kNBXVjbAIAFeyFQVCJmJF) Confidence cannot be bought or borrowed, it is something from within, it asks you a question as to what you believe about yourself. When you are confident in yourself, you don't need someone else to validate who you are, you already know and show up with that belief. Having self-confidence reaches down in the depth of a person's soul (mind, will, and emotions) and shows on the outside to others. When someone does not know your worth, does not make you worthless, it just means that they are ignorant to what you are worth. What do you think about yourself? Do you feel good about who you are? If not, what do you plan to do to change that narrative? Today you can make a decision to make yourself a priority and become who you are supposed to be in this world and being timid is not going to get you what you want. Self-esteem is defined as "a confidence and satisfaction in oneself : SELF-RESPECT."
