I Believe

This month the club theme is confidence. “I believe” is a statement that exudes confidence. If you believe in something, then that already should tell you that you have developed a form of confidence. Experience, challenging work, and passion all contribute to developing confidence. Everyone of us have ability, it is up to us to develop it and then the belief in achieving a goal can boost our confidence.

Joe Namath said: “When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.” I like this version of what confidence can do for you. Who does not want to have fun? We all have ability. We can try new things which most often makes life a bit more exciting. We could improve a task by putting in the demanding work. We all have an activity we would like to improve on. So, what is stopping you? Is it fear of failure? Is it you think you will look silly? Do not let fear and doubt curb your confidence. We only gain confidence with experience. Even trying something new that does not work out will still boost your confidence. Sometimes just the effort is enough to build up your confidence.

As I improve with age, (Ha), I still like to believe that if I do not have something new to look forward to then I will stop growing. I believe we all can get up each day and challenge ourselves to make that day a good day. It can be because you have a challenging task at hand, or you are helping someone else improve their day. I have the confidence that all of us could work towards making our lives and the lives others better. Which means we all can have a lot of fun.
