If you could name one person that is the most confident person that you (personally) know, who would it be?
Is the answer yourself? (I’m hoping it is, and if it is, YESSS!)
CONFIDENCE: It’s something everyone wants, not everyone has, and if you’re able to get it, it’s not guaranteed you’ll keep it and you won’t necessarily have it in every aspect of your life…
Episode 33 “If you WISH you were more CONFIDENT, this one is for you” with my long time friend (and former kickboxing student), Alice Yom, was filmed in San Diego, California.
We explore a conversation about how we were NOT confident children, but learned in our adulthood, to find our most confident selves.

A key message on confidence
How would you define confidence? The dictionary definition is “a feeling of trust or belief”.
I define it as being able to say or do the things you WANT to say or do… without thinking twice about it.
To live the life that YOU want, on your terms. It means when others step in to discourage you, or cut you down, or tell you “that’s not possible”, you say it or you do it anyway.
Confidence comes from within.
This is important because it means your flame cannot be extinguished. It means when you have confidence in yourself, reaching out to help another does not diminish your flame. Your fire is fed internally (and not by compliments or accolades from the outside world).
Often times we gain our confidence because someone lent us a helping hand. They lit our candle with their own and we were able to burn brightly together. This means if we are confident, we have a gift, an opportunity to give it back.
So consider giving it back. What’s an area of your life that you are confident in and how can you help another person?
