Building confidence
+++++++++++++++++++

The confidence to do the big things comes from the experience
of willingly and reliably doing the small things. Every
moment is your opportunity to build that confidence.

Others can encourage you and support you, yet no one can
build your own confidence for you. True confidence is
something created for you by your actions.

The confidence you already have comes from the challenges
you have successfully faced. Make use of that confidence,
and it grows.

Every time you act to create value, you also create
increased confidence. No task is too small or unimportant,
for every result you work to achieve builds more confidence.

If climbing a mountain seems out of reach, start by climbing
a few gentle hills. The confidence you gain will put you on
your way to achieving the goals that once seemed so far
away.

Today you'll encounter dozens of situations that can build
your confidence. The more you choose to do, the higher
you'll be able to reach, with real and lasting confidence.
