To be confident.
To be confident, one must have confidence. What is confidence? It is showing up. It is putting a smile on your face when you do not want to because you know it makes you feel brave. It is never quitting. It is having a routine that keeps you disciplined. It is knowing when, where, and how you will get to your destination, to your goal.
Confidence is a feeling you build over time. The more you do something even when you must force it, you get it done. And from that action, you build confidence. Confidence in yourself. You build a system that you believe in. That belief system is YOU. Because YOU, have gone through and accomplished and done hard things. Because you can do hard things.
Confidence is born once you decide you deserve better. However, first and foremost, you must believe in yourself. You must believe that your life will bring you more good than bad. You must believe in the person you are continuously working on becoming. Believe in YOU.
