Word of the Month – Confidence #1
Confidence
Week 1
“Self Confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”
Samuel Johnson, 18th Century English writer and critic
Confidence for Adults
Nothing significant occurs in your life without confidence. Even the most insignificant and mundane tasks of your daily life require unconscious confidence to do them. To accomplish new tasks and goals, you must first “know” that they are possible. There would be no reason to make plans or put them into action unless you first convinced yourself that
those plans would guide you to your goals. Without that conviction, you might be tempted to stop, if the journey to your goal doesn’t go as you planned. Have confidence in your ability
to reach a goal. Your confidence will drive and motivate you to work hard, even though the challenges are great.
Confidence for Kids
Life is impossible without confidence. You must have confidence in your ability to reach every goal and finish every task. You must already have confidence because you tried martial arts. Many people fear martial arts training. They think it might be too hard. They think they will look stupid. You had the confidence to come to your first class. Your confidence makes a great life possible. You need it to reach any goal. Remember, you can do it, whatever “it” may be. Work hard, even when life is a struggle. You will succeed because confidence is your partner.
Action For This Week
- Name a goal you reached that required confidence in your abilities. How did your confidence help you?
- How can past successes make your confidence stronger?
