“When you are unsure of yourself, remember that you can always borrow a self-confident attitude from your authentic self. If we act as if we’re confident, we become so.” ~ Sarah Ban BreathnachOne of the stumbling blocks to being confident is fear. I have spoken quite a bit on this blog about fears and how they keep us from living a passionate and purposeful life. Fears block our confidence. Just imagine the things you would try if fear did not limit you.
A building block to living a confident life is gratitude, again an old friend of this blog. Living in an attitude of gratitude opens the door to abundance giving you the confidence to live a life free of negativity.
To be a confident woman, you must make the conscious choice to not attend every pity party, anger-fest, and offensive gathering that you are invited to. Just say, “Thank you for sharing; I choose not to receive that.” And move on. No need to give further explanation; which only leads to further confrontation.
We were given an awesome power – the power to choose. Yet, sometimes we do not exercise that power wisely. Stopping is a spiritual action. When we are in the midst of a major or even a not so major decision, stop, take a breath, and then choose. And remember, making no choice, is also a choice.
Make the choice to live an amazing and confident life.

I love this! Carolyn..I cannot tell you just how much your words have been helping me move past my fears. I may not see you daily or read your blogs but you are on my mind every day. I didn't realize that my fears were holding me back. Now that I know I can do something about it. I still get automatic fearful thoughts only because I have been so conditioned for over 20 years of negative thinking. However, the difference now is I can stop the fear in its tracks and replace the thoughts with healthy ones. Thank you..thank you so much :-)
