Cultivating Confidence

I don’t know about you,

but I’m not naturally confident.

Self-assuredness is not 

a quality I was born with.

And I’ve found that 

acquiring and developing it 

takes a lot of time and effort.

Then, just when I think I’ve got it, 

it seems to disappear.

Or, I start confusing it

with arrogance.

But confidence is not 

synonymous with arrogance.

For me - real confidence is: 

‘a humble certainty 

in one’s own abilities’.

I also think confidence 

has to be cultivated.

Shown + home-grown,

if you will.

Wooed and won.

How do you cultivate 

your confidence?

 

I value you + your views, 

so let’s communicate!
