Confidence is missing because it was never built when it mattered most; it was never earned through pressure, struggle, or responsibility. This begins in childhood with how your parents raise you, but it can be learned in young adulthood too... The only way confidence is built is through struggle, challenge, and adversity. Fear is the compass for mediocrity... and FEAR is the Enemy.

On the other side of that line is challenge, discomfort, and the possibility of failure. Where do you think most people stay? Wherever it feels the most safe. They want to blend in, follow the crowd and never test themselves because testing yourself means risking failure... Talent might get you to the door, but GRIT is what kicks the door down. The kids who weren’t the stars early on often become the best later because they had to learn how to work. They didn’t rely on talent, they relied on...

Your thoughts shape your environment. No, you’re not God, but you’ve been given the power to create by God. You create through focus, words, and perspective. When you choose positivity, even in the face of hardship, you manifest strength and opportunity in your life.
