Ask yourself once question, “What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?”

For most people this is a question you’ve never even dared to consider, but now, you just may think of nothing else. If you haven’t realized (in a great, blinding flash of clarity), the main thing separating you from your hopes and dreams is the belief in your ability to achieve them.

Most of us are like this for most of our lives. There are many things that we want to be, and have and do, but we hold back. We are unsure because we lack the confidence necessary to step out in faith in the direction of our dreams.

Determine What You Really Want

Just think: What difference would it make in your life if you had an absolutely unshakable confidence in your ability to achieve anything you really put your mind to? What would you want and wish and hope for? What would you dare to dream if you believed in yourself with such deep conviction that you had no fears of failure whatsoever?

Be True To Yourself

The key is to be true to yourself, to be true to the very best that is in you, and to live your life consistent with your highest values and aspirations.

Take some time to think about who you are and what you believe in and what is important to you. Decide that you will never compromise your integrity by trying to be or say or feel something that is not true for you.

Have the courage to accept yourself as you really are-not as you might be, or as someone else thinks you should be-and know that, taking everything into consideration, you are a pretty good person.

Make A Plan To Achieve It

Being true to yourself means knowing exactly what you want and having a plan to achieve it. Lasting self-confidence comes when you absolutely know that you have the capacity to get from where you are to wherever you want to go. You are behind the wheel of your life. You are the architect of your destiny and the master of your fate.

Use the “Act As If” Principle

Act as though it were impossible to fail. Act as though you already had a high level of self-confidence. And continually ask yourself, “What one great thing would I dare to dream if I knew I could not fail?” Whatever your answer, you can have it if you can dream it, and if you have the self-confidence to go out and get it.

Action Exercises

Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, resolve to step out in faith in the direction of your dreams; just do it!

Second, ask yourself, “What one great thing would I dare to dream if I knew I could not fail?”

Third, be true to yourself, to the very best that is in you. Never compromise!

It just so happens that my ex’s (and unfortunate mother of my only child) Attorney (during our bitter custody battle), Gary M Wood, died very recently from a massive heart attack.

Some may call it fate……but I call it Karma for him being a lying son-of-a-bitch who helped in deceiving the family court and with his subsequent legal guidance that almost completely relieved me of all of my custodial rights (to my son) for no other reason than for his amusement i suppose…..not to mention the fact that he illegally counseled and ‘allowed’ my son’s mother to hold him hostage from me for over 1.5 years, thus deliberately causing me to miss out on crucial elements (& times) of his life.

Now if Karma would ‘cleanse’ the soul of someone else……..

Good riddance to the (evol) likes of your kind……
