Confidence

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. – E.E. Cummings

To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.
Mark Twain 

Confidence is something we all need a bit of. If you're not self confident, you can miss out on a lot of things in life. Say you want to audition for a play, write a book, become a musician or anything creative, and you're not confident with yourself. You'll always say stuff to yourself like"No,my work is no good." or "I'm not a good actress" or "I sing like a frog" etc...

Don't listen to that!! You should be more confident in yourself!!

Here are a few of my tips to get a little more confident day by day:

1. Replace negative thoughts by positive ones. For example instead of saying that you're not a good actress say that you can get better.
2.  Don't slouch! I know this is bad to say coming from me ( i'm slouching all the time!!) But if you stand straight you instantly appear more confident.
3. Set yourself small goals. Like not forgetting your pens every day for a month. Or walking to school three times a week. After you  achieve that you'll feel like you can do anything. And you can!

Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.
Pope John Paul II
