Developing Inner Confidence

The philosopher in me has been called out.
Challenges
Challenges are inherent in life. Some of life’s most triumphant moments are shaped in the face of adversity. While some believe challenges are a curse, Elizabeth Kubler Ross feels, "If you shield the mountain from the windstorms, you'll never see the beauty of the carvings."
Like the mountains, we all experience different stages of gradation; we shift and we change, and with each challenge lies opportunity to make choices which form our values, determine our character and shape our destiny. The windstorms of our lives serve as opportunities to enhance our confidence. Once we learn how to confidently navigate the shifting landscape, we can bravely traverse the challenging terrain.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
