Confidence attracts greatness, do you believe that? If you do not, here is what I believe is the reason, doubt.

A creepy monster that crawls into your thoughts, making you lose faith in yourself, your ideas, your potential, and your abilities. So many people today are not living up to their potential simply because they let doubt fill their thoughts, feeding off of them like a leach.

For many years I struggled with an internal enemy called doubt, one that has killed more dreams than failure ever did. All those years when self-doubt ruled me, I always thought only a few people could have such confidence that radiates around them. Some of my schoolmates in high school were awesome in just about anything they did. I thought they were born different with something that made them glow amidst their mates.

What I discovered was that no successful person on their first day in the world said hey everybody; “I am born with confidence”. No, they learned to be confident. You can learn to be super confident too.

If like me, you thought confidence was only for a certain group of people to have, stop right now, and let go of that thought. Confidence isn’t only for a few, it’s for everyone. It is a luxurious brand that anyone no matter your status, background, or region can have. The feeling of assurance that you get about your skin, looks, ability, ideas, and yourself, regardless of anyone who thinks otherwise. In fact, confidence is the new cool.

Nothing great has ever been achieved without confidence and belief in one’s self.

Have you ever noticed how a simple word can make you feel energized to accomplish just about anything? Simple words like quotes are powerful and capable of changing one’s perception, and life, and help gain confidence. Reading a good set of quotes can teach you in an instant something that others have learned in a lifetime. I believe quotes can help remind you of how incredibly awesome you are and help you believe in yourself.

We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?— Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson
