Self-Confidence is a state of being. It is a feeling of certainty about your abilities, decisions and judgment. It comes from within you and nobody else could give it to you. Its knowing who you are and what you stand for. It is a combination of morals, ethics, values and strengths.
How well do you know yourself?

Right now is all that matters. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will only be as good as you make it at this moment. What you do right now could change your future. Take the first step towards the things you want and I guarantee you will get it. Do nothing, and today will look a lot like yesterday. ~Bruno LoGreco
Commitment is a state of being. It is dedication and follow-through of an action or task to conclusion irrespective of the outcome. It is the act of scheduling time to execute the commitment to completion. It is an obligation you owe to yourself which will lead you to ultimate success.

Opportunity is everywhere. If you focus on your goals and have a direction just look carefully and you will find opportunity in abundance but, if you have nothing happening and lack direction you won't see opportunity even if smacks you in the head.

What am I doing? I am sipping on coffee asking myself, who will benefit from SWITCH To Your True Self -- which is the workshop I am launching this coming September?
The workshop is designed for anyone who wants to discover his or her authentic self but is afraid of what they will discover. They have illusions that distort what the future looks like. They fear how other might perceive them and strive to live-up to social, cultural and religious norms, which conflict with there true self.
It is for those who want to change their self-defeating and limiting behavior. For those who lack confidence and self-esteem because they feel worthless and insignificant. These kinds of false beliefs keep them captive within a small box – one that they built for themselves so they can feel safe and could predict most outcomes.
It is also for those who lack direction and don’t know which way to go next. They feel stuck, unhappy and face a lot of uncertainty and they also believe they have little if any success at all.
In a nutshell SWITCH To Your True Self is for anyone who has a desire to discover the true meaning of life. To live the life they were born to live. Becoming one with self without limitations or judgment – It is for those who dare to live a Happy and Fulfilled Life.
Giving up on tasks, which seem difficult and that pose a potential failure, will only develop a false sense of self while reinforcing negative, self-defeating behaviors. It is these behaviors, which are at the root of most perceived failures and regret in life.
Ask yourself, Why did I give up? Did I find the task too difficult, was it out of my comfort zone, maybe I lacked the skill set to achieve it successfully. What did I tell myself so it would be okay to give-up?
When you give-up on tasks regardless of the reason, what you are doing is accepting defeat and confirming the underlying belief, “I am not good enough.” This false sense of self, albeit untrue, will limit the amount of success you will achieve in life.
Did you ever write about nothing? What I mean by that is rather than planning what you will write you just start writing the first thing that pops into your mind. Sometimes I get the urge to write but I don’t always want to write about personal development or life coaching techniques. I also enjoy writing bout nothing.
Oddly enough when I do write posts about nothing, more often than not when I finish writing they turn into something. The message may not always be clear but it doesn’t always need to be.
Writing is a source of expression, it is a form of art. When I first started to write/blog I was judgmental about the output and I would try to refine and edit the article before publishing it. But not long after I realized that I could write anything that pops into mind because it is a form of art and my way of seeing the world.
The world is an ambiguous place so I feel my messages also need to be ambiguous sometimes. Different strokes for different folks – everyone sees the world in the way they see it. Although I might believe I am writing about nothing a reader might find something within the nothing. So really, who am I to say that this post is really about nothing?
My mind is now drawing a blank. There is nothing left for me to say about this post about nothing. I am curious, though, what did you get from this post?
Working towards a goal is something most of us do regularly. We just don’t realize it most of the time because there is a level of desire. So we are not conscious of the amount of work that goes into it even if it’s a substantial amount.
Going to work everyday is a goal not in our conscious mind because we established the goal the first day we started our job. The goal: Get to work on time. Then based on the length of time it takes to travel to work from home is factored into the amount of time it takes to get ready and to tend to any other personal responsibilities, which are also goals. Based on this information you develop a plan and perform according to it. The reward is a bi-weekly or monthly paycheck.
We’ve even established long-term goals – goals that take up to two to three years to achieve. Do you remember when you got your drivers license? I remember when I got mine, twenty days after I turned age 16. A significant amount of planning took place before I turned 16 – the legal age to drive, then. From the first time I drove a car to when I was fully licensed took about 2 years. How long did you prepare before you got your license, how bad did you want it?
What about first time homebuyers, are they goal oriented? You bet they are. They know exactly how much they can afford with expenses and how long it will take to save for a down payment. They then save and track their progress until they reach their goal. The reward is a new home.
So why can’t we take the same formula and apply it to the things we dream about – our passions? The answer, because it comes down to how badly we want it – do we have a burning desire for it? Without your bi-weekly or monthly paycheck, where would you be, would you be able to survive? What does a driver’s license represent to teenagers, why are most of us successful at obtaining it? How about first time homebuyers who didn’t have a penny in savings before planning to buy a home and now own a home?
