How to Build Unstoppable Confidence - Kinowear stumbleupon Article by Jae with contribution by guest contributor Tina Su If you had MASSIVE amounts of confidence in yourself, how would your life be different right now? What would be different in your career? How would your relationships change? No matter who you are, you can build unstoppable confidence. Building self-confidence is something that most people leave to chance. But waiting for external factors to give you confidence is like building your house on sandy ground. The majority of men who are active in the dating scene are a good example of this common approach. This approach may work, but this type of confidence reveals itself to be weak further down the road. For example, one day a woman might shatter their ego by leaving them for another man, or worse, telling them they are not satisfying any of their needs. At this point most men will start to doubt their worth and their confidence level will drop tremendously, and it’ll affect the way they approach future relationships. 1.

Self Improvement We all live lives of infinite potential but few of us make the most of what we’ve got. The banality of everyday life takes over and we become stuck in a rut. We start to exist rather than thrive and we leave this world with a pathetic whimper instead of a colossal bang! I don’t know about you, but I don’t want that! I want to squeeze every last drop out of my time on this glorious planet and know that I haven’t wasted a single minute being unhappy or dissatisfied. I mean, why wouldn’t you want to want to explore your potential and be the best that you can be? It’s not necessarily about being dissatisfied with your lot in life. Life is for living and doing it on your own terms. Self improvement is about fostering the good relationships in our lives and sharing our unique gifts with others. Seriously, what do you imagine you could achieve if only you had the opportunity? Now is your chance to change those things. Nobody should hold you back from reaching your potential, and that includes you!

10 Secrets to Success What is it that makes people successful and I mean really successful compared to you or me? Are they smarter or do they work harder? Are they risk takers or have powerful and influential friends? The financial newspaper Investors Business Daily (IBD) asked these same questions a few years ago and started a multi-year search for the answer. They studied industry leaders, investors and entrepreneurs to understand the traits they all had in common that contributed to their success. Reproduced here is their list of 10 Secrets to Success along with my commentary on each no-so-secret, ‘secret’. I decided to reproduce the list here and comment on each of the traits in hopes of motivating you and myself in the process. I originally came across this list when I was staring at some papers on a refrigerator owned by someone who was very successful – both personally and financially. The problem was, after a couple of months I forgot about the secrets and they fell by the wayside. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

I pull out the list of goals I set for myself last January, and then grade myself on how well I did. This year is quite different than past years. It’s been tough. Although I didn’t do any of the fighting — you have Cassie and her doctors to praise for that — I did get caught up in the ride. Here I am now, happy that 2010 is upon us, wondering what else to write about. I’m glad for how things turned out. I suppose that I’m afraid if I don’t talk about it, the only other thing I can say about 2009 is that life was on pause for a while, so nothing else was accomplished. The other thing about 2009 is that I feel so detached from everything I experienced throughout it. I started imagining what types of things I wish I could have told myself earlier this year: “Everything’s going to be alright.” — “One year from now, this will all be behind you.” — “Trust me, she’ll be okay.” #10 – For the most part, what others think doesn’t matter.
