Self-esteem / Confidence

[colorado]

I agree with Ali Quadir and fairyfarmgirl. Confidence is a state of being that takes practice. One must force confidence on themselves until it becomes habit. I struggled with confidence issues my entire life. I have, in the past few months, just started to get over it. Everyone's confidence issues are unique to them, so I will not go into what mine were, but I consciously made an effort to change my thoughts and to project that which I thought I was lacking. I am always refining it, but I have to say my efforts are paying off. I encourage anyone who is having confidence or self esteem issues to truthfully look at themselves and figure out what it is about them that does not allow confidence to move through them. If you can find certain activities that would increase that which you found you lacked, do them whole heartedly.
