The Look and Feel of Confidence: A Coaching Client's Success Story

The following is based on a client's insights about Confidence as a result of their Coaching experience.

Confidence looks like the warm sun breaking through the clouds. It feels like the wind moving the leaves around in autumn, pushing you forward in its direction. It is God looking down upon me with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. I feel safe, calm and at peace with myself.

Confidence is the recognition of an opportunity and acting on.

Confidence is taking control of whatever comes my way. It is turning roadblocks into new pathways.

Confidence allows me to act without fear of failure and go for what I want in life.
I act with courage and conviction. I move forward. I do not waste time dwelling on the past, since that is wasted energy. I focus on the future with excitement, clarity, and resolve. I rise above the drama and the details. I find the solution. I act versus react.

Confidence is humility and grace. When something wonderful happens, I am thankful and proud since it is a result of my hard work and commitment to having a life I want and love through Coaching.

Confidence finds me enjoying life rather than "fighting" with life. I let go of any negative thoughts and move forward. The feeling is liberating- like a bird in flight-soaring freely above the clouds in a vast universe.

Confidence is self acceptance. It is loving myself and not being afraid. I look at life with optimism. I have dreams, faith and hope. I can achieve what I believe. Armed with these feelings, I am fearless and powerful beyond measure. I can accomplish anything! Coaching has given me confidence. I can honestly say: "It is a wonderful life"!
