Published by

Have you ever watched a confident person enter a room?  There is just something about the way she carries herself:  head erect, shoulders back, walking with purpose.  She seems to ooze confidence and immediately you think this is someone who is self-assured and knows who she is.  So, why is this particular characteristic so important? Well, confidence is self-acceptance or assurance, freedom from doubt, and appreciation of one’s own qualities and abilities.  Confident people are sure of their gifts and talents, and when asked, do not hesitate to articulate their strengths and positive qualities.

Most people have some form of fear that they deal with in life. It might be fear of heights, flying, speaking in public, rejection, loneliness, failure, success, or any other forms of fear.
