How to build confidence in your kids today will briefly discuss a couple of things you can do today to help them grow confident and self-assured. Not many parents have a lot of time on their hands, but the thing about being a parent is that you’re obliged to make time for the kids you’ve been given charge of. You desperately wanted them. You love them and made a fuss of them when they were babies – and when they were little. Now they’re getting up and getting themselves dressed. You’re rushing out to work and hardly even looked at what they were wearing today. Why the rush?
Why are you rushing out without seeing them? You’re going to work to put food on the table and a home above their heads – that’s right. You’re rushing around to make their lives more comfortable. Please stop and think for a moment about how you can make their lives more fulfilling.

In order to build confidence, we need to answer this question: What is confidence? ‘Confidence’ is defined as belief in the truth about something. Note: confidence is not necessarily knowing the truth about something. It’s the belief in the truth about that thing. Confidence is to be certain, to have faith, to be assured. Build Confidence: You Can Do It gives you the top-up you need today to have that faith in yourself.
The relationship between reality and imagination is made smaller by confidence. This is so because the physical brain can’t really tell the difference between the two. Confidence, therefore, bridges the gap the mind knows is there. When in doubt about your abilities don’t stand still, just take the plunge. This is confidence.

Get Confident! Wake Up and Live is based on one of Bob Marley’s popular songs, ‘Wake Up And Live’. I’ve always been very inspired by Bob Marley’s lyrics. If you’ve never listened to him, you really should. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve only copied some of the lyrics of this track below. I wanted to highlight the parts that will inspire us to action. In order to get confident we’ve got to wake up to the important things that affect our state of mind – thus our confidence.
Bob Marley’s Wake Up And Live Lyrics (edited for the parts I want to use for this article)
Life is one big road with lots of signs,
So when you riding through the ruts, don’t you complicate your mind:
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!
Don’t bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality, yeah!…

How to have self confidence? Well, that’s not a difficult question. The answer exists very near you – you just have to dig deep to find it. We know that the lowliest tasks are the ones that lift our spirits higher. Serving others give us satisfaction and pleasure like no other task does. In order to find the lost coin, you need to bend down low, and the most precious diamonds are buried the deepest. These diamonds – in this case – is your confidence. It’s the thing that propels you forward to enable you to be all you could be. Without this precious element you’re stuck in your present state. We can’t have that!
You wouldn’t think to look at it twice, but the picture below is of a large, extremely expensive emerald. I don’t own it, (I wish!) but I took this picture at a museum I visited in London recently.

Confidence journey – what is it about? Ever since we were little, the things we did and the people we met all contributed to our confidence level. Mind you, they haven’t determined our confidence, (we do that) – they just contributed to it. The things we were able to do well showed us we were good at some things. The things we were unable to do showed us our weaknesses (and we all have them). The people we saw and lived with all told us in word and action how able or how deficit we were. This article is about your confidence journey and how you can make it a better one.
