Walking with Confidence

What does confidence  mean to you? Think about it for a moment. Confidence means a lot to me. I believe it means having full trust in yourself.

It may be hard these days to have full confidence in one self. In the world we live in, it can be really easy to destroy our own confidence. There are people out there that like to talk bad about people so that they can make themselves feel superior. If you were ever a victim by this, don't let it get to you. Those people that talk bad about people are only doing it because they think it will make them feel better about themselves. Please don't let them get to you.

Walking with confidence is really amazing. Walk on with hope in your heart and with your head held up high. It does make a difference. Don't worry about what other people think of you. It is their problem if they judge you. Don't change yourself for the worse, only for the better. By doing so, life has a whole new meaning. When people walk with confidence, they start to realize how great life is and how precious it is. Life is short, so please walk with confidence with your head held up high. I promise you it will change your life for good! Here is a quote that is wonderful. Please read it carefully.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Please let me know what you thought about this. I love you all!

Love, Laurel
