If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win. - Carl Lewis
Optimism is the faith that leads to
achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. - Helen Keller
As many readers may remember, the author loves bridges. One of her favorite pictures is from a bridge
she walked in Maryland from the parking lot at the Assateague Island National
Seashore to the sand and the sea. The
sky is an absolutely beautiful blue and the sand is crisp, white. The author has visited many places and this
is one of the most memorable to her.
Loving the ocean, this bridge is always a reminder that she has to walk
across it to get to her dreams and her passion.
In the same way, we have all taken on a new project/task to
accomplish before the end of the year.
As we are all relaxed when we walk on the beach and hear the waves
crashing on the seashore, we need will be relaxed when we accomplish the
goal. Until that time, we are walking on
the bridge that may be scary when we hear the creaking of the boards or a nail
that may hurt us if we stub our toes.
Most of the time, we continue to walk on that bridge even though we hear
weird noises because we have the confidence the bridge will hold us up to get
to the other side.
Just like walking on that bridge with confidence that we
will get to the other side, we have to have confidence that we will make it to
accomplish our dreams. How do we have
that confidence to accomplish our dreams?
The author has a couple ideas:
1.
Remind yourself of success in the past.
2.
Speak to yourself more than you listen to
yourself.
Next week, the author is going to tell you about a man that
has accomplished 6 double-ironman’s.
When the author heard this story, she knew she needed to incorporate the
runners thinking into her life.
ACTION: As you progress toward your goal/dream
before the end of the year, how will you build confidence?
