As we emerge from childhood, we begin to appreciate that life is not a fairy-tale. There is no fairy godmother, who will appear and resolve our difficulties by magic. We begin to realise that our goals and aspirations can only be achieved by our own efforts. And the first requirement is belief in ourselves.

Self-confidence is usually difficult to achieve, because we acquire that trait after many disappointing episodes of relying on others as we pursue our goals. However, once we recognise our own strength and resilience, there is no turning back. The sky is the limit!

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• How much do I believe in myself?
• To what degree am I still relying on others because I am not confident in myself?
• To what degree do I believe I can call upon my own strength and resilience when needed?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
