Confidence Building

This is a focal point of our own and your success. Personal upgrades covers a lot of steps to improve in this area, but we thought it was important enough to give it an entire section. You grow confidence through accomplishments, some are lucky enough to experience this through work. Accoplishments can be defined in many categories and on many levels. Once a level of confidence is reached, it becomes a building block to bigger and better activities and achievements.

The important thing to remember is that the steps should have meaning to you. Maybe you've always wanted to bungie jump or rock climb. Plan a trip and do it. These types of outings make for great dates as well. It's something neither of you will forget, not to mention it gets all the endorphans going. The important thing is that you start living, persue your dreams and ambitions. Anyone can say they plan on being somewhere grand, you'll find that very few of them have taken steps to get there. College, in itself is just a step, but its one of many. I can't count the number of people that have their degrees and have gone virtually no where. Most of them thought that a magic door of opportunity would open and their worries would be over. It's just a step, it's not the end, but rather the beginning.

Make yourself daily goals, daily goals that you can realistically reach. Your goals must be attainable. Breaking things down into the smallest steps will make your quest that much easier. So wake up each day with a plan. What are you going to do today that will set you apart from the rest, and make you a leader? The American dream isn't a myth, it's a realization. A realization that with vision and planning you can reach your goals. We all know that there isn't any charity out there, it's survival of the fittest.

Accomplishments, what have you accomplished? How did you accomplish these things? These questions will help you identify where you were and where you are now, and most importantly, how you arrived at your current state. Your life is just a long game of Chess, there are key pieces and there are pawns. Most of the people you know are pawns, especially when you look at the state of the world. When was the last time you made a decision that made the news, that changed international diplomacy? These are the kings and queens of the game, with key figures like the bishops and knights to back their calls. I realize that this is probably miles above your current goals, but its important to know where you stand before starting a journey. The fact that you see all the angles of the world will help you navigate through it.
