CONFIDENCE. It's one of the recipes for success. But unfortunately, this word is my weakness.
People who knows me think that I am a confident woman. The real thing is, I am not really confident. If I remember it right, I have been struggling so much with the confidence level when I was young. I have been told by my teacher in elementary that that's one thing I need to work on. At some point I may have worked it out but there are just times that this trait creeps out in my system and I hate it when that happens.
There have been many times that I wanted to do something but I hold back because I am not confident of myself if I can pull it off. I worry so much about being a failure. I worry so much about what other people would think. Or maybe because I have high expectations and put a lot of pressure on myself? I don't know.
I am not really this emo but today, it just hit me. Probably because there's something in my mind that I wanted to do but I am holding it back. I am just not really sure if I can pull it off. I know my hubby and the whole family believes in me but I am not sure if I can really do it.
Excuse me for my rambling. I just know that if I won't fight against my weakness, I'll end up being the loser and that's the last thing I want to happen. I know all I need is to losen up and build that mighty word in me and everything will all fall into place. I think I am right on that!!!

I have struggled with this my whole life too :-( I am still struggling. I'd love to know how to change it though. Nice shot!
Thanks!!! i am still learning how to overcome this..but i think, it's going to be just doing what we want to do as long as we don't hurt anybody else.
I read Joyce Meyer's book titled, "The Confident Woman," and it really helped me. I also struggled with being confident. The Bible says in Phil 4:13 that, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. That verse brings me so much peace and confidence.
Remember, Noreen, we are weak, but He is strong!
Love the DOF! I think we all think that everyone else is so confident, just not us. It does help to know that other people have the same fears- at least for me.
@cheryl: well said!!! sometimes that thought that He is up there and is stronger than us slips my head. I have been weak lately and is consumed with the worldly things. I need to change that attitude!!!
@Bek: thank you!!! That's right. I am glad I posted this - not only i found out that I am not the only one, I got very nice responses of encouragement from people in the virtual world. THey were so kind and really gave inspiration and to think, I haven't even met them in real life!
