Cashing Out Confidence

Cashing Out Confidence is a book that I am writing from the bottom of my heart based on my life experiences and observations. It is important to understand from the onset that I am not writing this book because I have finally mustered all the confidence that I need in this world, but that I have decided that I am not going to wait for confidence to come to me and so I am going to cash it out bit by bit until I have it all. I have decided that I will not stop striving until I am comfortable in my own skin and confident to do anything I set my mind to. One might ask, 'why don't you just go ahead and do whatever you want to, what or who is stopping you? All I can say to such a question is that continue reading and you will find out that it is not the simplest thing when you are faced with what I

am writing about in this book. I have come to even form an opinion that lack of confidence is the highest form of bondage because it is working even against our creativity, yet we are created in the very image and likeness of God, to be able create as well. In a nutshell, there is no creating when you have little confidence.

Philippians 3:14

"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (NIV)

I realized something about confidence when I was going through problems that I did not lose confidence it overnight or because of one incident, but that I lost it over a period of time as things were happening to me; negative things, big and small alike. Every time something happened, I lost a bit of my confidence until I had almost none left.

But the thing about confidence is that it is not really out there but within me, so I came to a realization that I had to begin cashing it out one day at a time.
