Over the long term, good mental health resulting from personal introspection and accomplishment will help you to develop an inner character that you will be proud to show and share with the world. It will also help you deal with human conditions and situations that develop beyond your control. You must feel comfortable with yourself and with the decisions you make. Some of your decisions will demand serious contemplation, will take risk and may involve a dubious payoff years in the future. This is where self-confidence becomes so important. There are no guarantees. Reflecting upon what you have done, why you took the actions you did and how you will act in the future will all combine to build your self-confidence. You are the visionary who must see your own bright future, a future of your own choosing.
Accept your minority status. Masters of Success are in the minority. You are not society’s nanny. Teach your children and be a good example to others. Then, mind your own business. It doesn’t matter that the majority aren’t exercising enough, aren’t watching their diets, aren’t organizing their days with to-do lists, and aren’t investing, aren’t taking advantage of opportunities, they aren’t taking time each day for daily reflection. This is them. Your self-confidence builds from doing well what you know you should be doing. This is you. You can control your attitude. You can work very hard.
Confidence energizes and multiplies your efforts. Pause to consider where you been, where you are and where you are going and then get going. Continually re-evaluate your goals, health, business, career and relationships. Whatever it takes!
