Doesn't it sometimes seem that the whole world is laughing whilst you are feeling the opposite?
Does it feel to you that life is sometimes like one big 'confidence trick'...and YOU are the loser?
Sometimes it can be a challenge to be positive when things seem to go against you.
But IT is possible to be confident DESPITE what the 'real world' says.
I am of the firm opinion that part of who we are is defined by how well we deal with the failures in our life.
I know...over the last few years it has seemed that sometimes my life has been going downhill whilst other people were confidently going around without a care in the world!
Until...I realized that MY world (and my place in it, as well as my view of it) was defined by what I did or didn't do when faced with the challenges in my life.
In short...YOU can either 'roll over' and blame the world for your troubles...or you can look at WHY these things are happeing to you.
Believe me...there is ALWAYS a 'big picture' reason why things happen to YOU in YOUR life.
Things happen because the next step in your development is to become the person that is capable with dealing with such a challenge.
Whether you like it or not...you NEED to face up to these 'hits' on your confidence so that you learn - and move up.
Blaming others doesn't allow you to learn from an experience.
Passing the 'buck' is a sure-fire way to remain where you are. Guaranteed.
If you accept that you need these challenges to become the person you REALLY should be, then over time, YOU will be that person to whom OTHERS look towards!
Not only that...once you learn to face the smaller challenges head on...you'll find it SO much easier to deal with the bigger things that life throws you.
