IT ALL ADDS UP

"A hand up is better than a hand out." ~ Sybil Mobley

Most of us normally perform far below our capabilities simply because we lack faith in ourselves.

Realistic self-confidence and wholesome self-esteem are your keys to unlock your doors to your success.

Or, the lack of self-confidence and self-esteem are the locks that imprison and keep you from experiencing your success and achievement.

Self-confidence and self-esteem gives us courage to persist, persevere, and progress in the present as we prepare for the future.

But how do we build self-confidence and self-esteem?

Well, they don't come all at once; they build up as one learns by endeavoring to become successful. Every successful attempt (and even unsuccessful attempts from which one learns) adds up. So, you gain self-confidence by both learning and trying--even if you experience temporary failure.

REMEMBER: Nothing overcomes losses but persistence.

So, as Jim Valvano said: "Don't give up. Never give up!"

Everything you learn (even in losses) eventually add up to successes.
