“Seeding Your Confidence”
Wouldn’t you love to have been infused with all the confidence and knowledge one would need to succeed at birth? Fat chance.
It comes from work. And from failure … often many times.
It comes from sticking your neck out … many times.
It comes from overriding the fears that dangle in front of you … many times.
It comes from being open and willing to learn new ideas and new things … many times.
It comes from your vision for yourself … for your writing … for your book.
It comes from a plan in putting it forward.
And it comes from living life … one day at a time. Rarely does it come from luck.
