Without confidence we struggle in our lives in almost every way. Confidence is not arrogance; it is not abusive and lorded over others. Confidence is a calm, strong force and people are drawn to it. It makes you a leader in your own life. When you are more confident people will see it in your professional and personal life. As you feel it, people mirror it back on you and then you become it, more confident, you become more unstoppable.
