You’ve recognized how it has affected your life and how it harmed you. You’ve come to acknowledge its existence and the need to change it. You are not beating yourself up about it, instead, you acknowledge all the things you are self-confident at. I think these are pretty awesome achievements in themselves. And a large number of people, self-confident or not, would agree that the fact you dared writing about it to the public is a more self-confident act than most would dare to do.<br /> <br />It might sound pretty naïve but recently I have started to read a lot of Wiki-How articles to help me deal with some of my own struggles. I have no idea how scientifically proven these writings are, but I don’t really give a monkey’s youknowwhat either, as they have helped me gather my thoughts and stir my attention to the right direction in many topics. They helped me identify some areas where I needed focus and gave me tips. For boosting self-confidence I found this: <br />http://www.wikihow.com/Build-Self-Confidence <br /><br />I quite like the way it writes about it so simply, so matter-of-fact and without victimizing or patronizing the reader in any way. I like the way it says: “Do not mistake being loud for confidence. Some loud people cover their insecurities. If you are happy with yourself, you are confident.” :) Love it. It is an important definition and distinction I think. <br /><br />So Andy… keep up the fight. Go back again to the time where you stumbled and let your self-confidence stay on the floor. Pick it up and push it forward. Let it fly and take you up on its wings. Reading you makes me feel totally confident that you can do it and that you are extremely close to achieving all you've ever wanted. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9-Lwpgfd1E<br /><br />xdDnoreply@blogger.com
