Your inner energy is effective when you carry out changes with confidence born of solid understanding and belief. The same is true of developing your personal effectiveness. Confidence in yourself makes you walk taller and face  the world with greater authority. 

> "Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained."
    ~ Marie Curie


  The most confident people usually have knowledge and expertise gained through experience. It is based on a firm foundation of certainty and self-assurance.

To make sure that their confident attitude is maintained, self assured people engage in a process of continuous positive programing. This means paying attention to the type of people around them.

> "Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong."
     ~Peter T. Mcintyre


Surround yourself with people who build you up rather than people who prick your bubble. Minimize the negative influence in your life. Do not spend your time with people who make you feel unsure of yourself, question your judgment or who constantly correct you under the guise of doing it "for your own good." Confidence arise from the energy you surround yourself with. When people near you are supportive your aura expands, creating confidence and success-bringing energy.
