Living Requires Boldness and Confidence

Living the life you could and should be living is going to require something that eludes many: boldness and confidence.

If you look at the people you most admire in this world chances are they’ve made bold moves before they experienced success. That’s the way success works.

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

– T.S. Eliot

This week’s affirmation is a powerful one that you may want to refer to over and over again as you build your confidence muscle.

I am bold and confident.

I am free of doubt and worry. I am confident in my capabilities in any situation. I am bold and confident.

I have the confidence necessary to accomplish any goal or task. I look forward with great anticipation to the experiences that lie ahead of me. I know I can be successful. I am capable. I am skilled.

I realize that life is kind to those with the courage to be bold and strike new ground. I am free of reticence and self-doubt. When I see an opportunity, I seize it quickly and confidently. Boldness is repaid many times over. My luck increases whenever I am bold.

My confidence comes from within. I am free from needing the approval or encouragement of others. I am centered and quietly confident. I know I can accomplish anything that truly matters to me.

My boldness and confidence are like a one-two punch. The combination can overcome any obstacles or challenges that might stand in my way. I foster both qualities every day. I know they are a key component of my success and happiness.

Sometimes, I might have a day where I feel somewhat unsure of myself. These are the days I take a quick break and remember how much I have already accomplished. This reminder serves to recharge my belief in myself. My confidence instantly increases.
