CONFIDENCE!

What does CONFIDENCE mean to you? How about WILL? Ferdinand Foch, military strategist said, "The will to conquer is the first condition of victory."

What was good'ol Ferdinand talking about? What do his words mean to you? I would assume the true meaning is that unless YOU make a conscious decision to move forward, or strive for a goal, or win...it will not, and cannot happen. It is a very simple thought process to me. I would almost argue that confidence is the life blood of every action taken by an individual, regardless of outcome.

Something else to ponder is; how do YOU make the distinction between confidence and something that is quixotic. I mean really, just because an idea, dream, or goal may seem capricious to one, does that mean it is really unachievable?

My challenge to YOU is to look deep within yourself and find that spark, you know the one I'm speaking of. The one that made you run faster when you were eight years old. The one that made you go above and beyond when competing in anything you have done. Or maybe the one that lingered in the back of your mind during that job interview when you told yourself, "I WILL GET THIS JOB!". Find it and ignite it, NOW!

Only YOU can make a difference in YOUR life. Unfortunately without confidence, it may be a long uphill climb.
