On Confidence

 

One of the beautiful things about getting older is that some ideas begin to make deep, undeniable sense. 

When I was a teenager, confidence felt fragile. I looked outward for it. I believed it came from how you looked, what you owned,
or what others thought of you. 

But they were illusions. The truth is, those shiny things
come and go.

Real confidence grows in a much quieter place. It comes from committing yourself to something that matters and
showing up for it every day. 

Over time, those moments create trust in yourself. And when you begin to trust yourself, something else grows with it:
respect and love for who you are becoming.

The challenges we overcome prove to us that we are capable, that we can improve. And that’s where true confidence lives.
Not in what we have, but in who we are becoming through 
the work we choose to do.

Have a great Monday!
