On ‘How to Build Confidence’ we’ve explored how confidence is built, what to do to boost your confidence and ways to take that forward-step in your life. Today I wanted to publish a short post concentrating on what self-confidence is not. I came across the picture below on the Internet. Unfortunately, I don’t know who owns it or where it originates. If you took this photograph please contact me and I’ll add your link as a credit.

A time to kill is not a new concept. A lot of people know this phrase from Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Others know it from the bare facts of their own lives. There are times in your live when you’ll feel rotten and useless. These are some of the most profitable times in your life because you use them (more than any other period) to develop your character. When the phase is over, it’s time to kill the negative and move on. Using this same principle, you can also kill the shackles and hang-ons you carry around which keep you from building confidence to achieve your dreams. Ecclesiastes Chapter 3: 1-13 (NIV) says:

Confident honk is a bizarre name for a blog post. But hey, stick with me and I’ll show you why I’ve chosen this name. Have you ever noticed how bigger cars have more aggressive sounding honks? Some car horns sound out a confident honk saying, ‘Hey, I’m right behind you. Or, ‘Hi, did you know the traffic lights just turned green?’ Others (usually larger cars) have honks that say, ‘You fool, can’t you see I’m here?’ Get out of my way right now!’ Smaller cars have honks that say, ‘ I hope you’ve seen me.’ Or, ‘I hate to jump in right when you’re examining your teeth, but the lights just turned green and I’m in a bit of a hurry.’

I want to illustrate the make lemonade with life’s lemons lesson with a story that happen some time ago, involving my 3 children.
