What Confidence Means
- It means not equating money with happiness, being self-assured, to understand that you cannot change the world but your response to everything you experience determines your happiness.
- It means being in control of your lifestyle, to be able to learn new skills, to understand that you can be anywhere, live anywhere, work and make friends anywhere.
- It is a self-assurance that your kids will be just fine, and the real goal of your life is not to earn money but to attain happiness.
Confidence means believing that you have the personal power to get things done and that your true goal is to live happily.
