I Have Confidence!
Music/movie trivia time! What do Julie Andrews and Elvis have in common? (…cue the Jeopardy music please)
Okay, okay, I’ll tell you: they both sang songs about confidence. If you can name both movies in which they did so, you get a very stylish MPower bag!
But back to the task at hand. A couple of days ago, I was placed in a situation that was very nerve-wracking to me. And, of course, it was a several-hour ordeal, with the most difficult part of the day occurring last. I barely slept the night before, but still had to get up early in the morning to be ready on time. I turned on my psych-myself-up music (including the aforementioned Julie Andrews song) as I got ready — and boy, did I look good! — but was still a nervous wreck when I got there. I had some time before I could go in, and I was basically shaking. So I read some uplifting literature (thank heaven for smartphones, so I can keep cool books with me all the time!)…and still felt scared at the large, important tasks ahead of me. So I called in the reinforcements: my friends and family. And let me tell you, after about 30 minutes of total pep-talkage, I was pumped! I was totally ready to tell the world how awesome I was!
I HAD CONFIDENCE!
It was awesome! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my support system rocks! Who and what builds you up when you need to feel great about yourself?
Oh, and PS, don’t forget about the contest! The bags are awesome!
Thanks for the posting!
