I want to talk to you today about confidence …
Confidence …as in these moments in time when you know who you are; You know where you want to be and what you are looking for; and it changes the way you live your life?
We all need confidence in life to take major decisions and follow through, sometimes not even knowing how those decisions will work out, or how they are ultimately going to affect us. But let me tell you something i learned about confidence….
I've found my confidence in storytelling from journaling every significant step i make on my journey. I open myself up to describe how my decisions affect me. And i also like to encourage others on their journeys. Confidence usually appears like a revelation, the minute that you realize that all things are indeed possible with, and sometimes without, your permission. And it takes a journey to get there. This is what journeys are about..getting to that place, that moment and space in your life, when you believe/ and see, that all things are indeed possible. And that's all the power that you need. Until you see that all things are possible, just know that they are possible. And keep going. Know that your past, the things you've done wrong, or the wrong doings that were done unto you, can't change that. Cease that moment.
Sometimes you begin the journey without confidence, hoping to find it. I want to encourage you. Stop delaying the precious lessons you have to learn the hard way to build that confidence. Circumstances will not keep you confident at all times. People won't either. Confidence has its own right time, its right moment, its right place, a specific encounter to manifest, until everything changes. Be there for it. For good. If you haven't found the confidence that you need to pursue your journey with passion, i want to encourage you. Keep searching along your way. You won't always know where to look for it. But trust the journey. Keep learning.
When I first started posting on ig, i was not confident at all. I had no expectation. To be honest, it was really a test-and-try thing to do, and my brother was the one who started it all. He seemed confident that it was the tool i needed to connect with the world, and i had serious doubts and reservations. It Took me about few weeks or so, probably a couple of months in to be exact, to realize that i had something to say. Then i actually decided to use this plateform regularly, for everything it has to offer.
We need confidence in everything we do, especially when those things are going to affect our lives permanently. But don't expect confidence to show up everytime, in anything and everything that you do, before you know or do what is the right thing to do. Know that all things are possible and hope for the best outcome. Expect confidence however to show you the way out everytime you need to, just so that you can make it successfully to the end of your journey. And that means going through few valleys.
It takes a lot of confidence to live life. It takes more than what we already know, what we have already been through, especially when you have serious doubts and reservations about life in general. Confidence doesn't always come by experience in life alone. It' has to come through Believing that all things are possible. It is hard to learn from a negative experience, have a negative mindset and expect the best outcome…
