Confidence In Your Future

Facing Your Insecure Beliefs
If you aren’t taking action towards your goal because you’re paranoid about what other people think, then you’ll just remain stuck where you are. You won’t continue to learn, grow, and experience life. All because you’re worried that it won’t be good enough, perfect, or someone might not like it, etc. The judgement of others can be paralyzing and hold you back from going after your goals. Especially when you’re constantly looking for acceptance that you’re doing it right or on the right path. Yet, there is no right path. There is only your path. It’s full of ups and down because that is life.
Insecure Beliefs

Becoming Your Inner Childā€™s Hero
Your mind is constantly taking in life and rechecking with your past to see how you will responded. If it was a good experience, you’re likely to feel at peace and relaxed. If it was a not so favorable experience, you may want to flee, hide, or avoid it all together. You’re looking at life through the lens of your past experiences. Most of these experiences were formed in your childhood. As a child, from ages zero to seven, you learn your true feelings, needs, what it means to be safe, vulnerable, to trust, and play. At this age, you take in your experiences to form your thoughts and beliefs about the world. You carry these beliefs into your adolescence and adulthood to help you make decisions in life.

The Story Of Your Life
In a biography of your life, you are the main character. How you see yourself in your life’s story matters. You can play the victim, the villain, or the hero. The choice is yours. Here’s how each one plays out in the story of your life.
Victim
When you play the character of the victim, you feel like the world is out to get you. Life is working against you and not happening for you. You often see what’s wrong and focus on what’s not going right. You feel like nothing is ever good enough. You feel hopeless about your situation and don’t think things will change. You feel powerless and it doesn’t seem like things will ever turn around in your favor. You blame outside sources for your own misgivings in life. Yet, you also believe that these outside sources are the only thing that will save you and create the joy, happiness, and success you’ve always deeply desired for...
Pick A Path

Your choices are either to remain where you are at the cross roads or pick a direction and take that path. Fear often keeps you stuck and prevents you from making a decision. You’re unsure what will happen if you go right or left. It’s easier to remain in your comfort zone of where you are and what you know. In life, you’re constantly faced with the difficult decision to pick a path.
Known VS Unknown
The uncertainty of the unknown keeps you stuck exactly where you currently are. But, at least you know what to expect.

Should You Set Time Bound Goals?
You have probably heard of a setting a SMART goal. A goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound. But, what if setting a deadline wasn’t actually helping you to achieve your goal? Instead, it’s putting added pressure on you to either achieve the goal by that date or get down on yourself because you didn’t. Goals take a while to achieve and that happens through daily consistent action. Here is why setting a time bound goal is not always beneficial.
Time Bound Goals
Time bound goals have a deadline when you will achieve the goal by. But, this deadline can put undue pressure on you. It also brings the believability that you will achieve your goal down. Big goals can already feel really overwhelming to achieve. When you add the extra layer of stress by having a deadline, you very well may have just set yourself up for failure. If you don’t achieve your goal by the...
