Swami Vivekananda, an Indian monk and philosopher, once said, “If you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.”
Thoughts have the power to shape actions, and your actions make you who you are. Growing up is nothing more than the meticulous process of curating your thoughts so that they produce powerful and positive actions. Every day, our experiences teach us a new way to view life and a different manner in which we can live it. As we grow and progress through life, many things around us change. However, there is one thing that should never waver. This is the confidence that we have in our own identities. Confidence is often described as a value that relates to how one views oneself. It is generally connected to one’s appearance or mannerisms. Although this is true to some extent, confidence is mainly about trusting oneself regardless of the situation.
