The Law of Self-Confidence

Step 1. Know Who you are. The law of self-confidence

Self Confidence will allow others to be confident in you. Over come difficult things, which will help you to grow and master a skill. Accomplish more. Do more. Be more. Plus, you'll go on more dates.



You probably know who you are, but what conclusion that leads you to makes all the difference and is a fundamental building block.
For example out of these three beliefs and understandings
  1. Belief that we are God's Children and He is our Father. He has a body of flesh and bone and we are created in his likeness and image. We have been sent here to become like Him.
  2. Belief that we are God's Children and He is our Father. He has not a body of flesh and bone and we cannot understand who he is, what his qualities or attributes are. We do not know why we are here.
  3. Belief that there is no God and never was. We are multi-cell organisms. We don't know why we are here but science says through evolution we evolved from a single cell organism the size of the area a top the tip of a needle.

would you say that each one would lead a person to a different conclusion of who they are then the other? Is it a big difference or small? How much of a change would take place in your life if you were to change one of these beliefs and understandings from another? What capacities does each belief place upon us as human beings?

Draw a true conclusion
Knowing who we are makes all the difference but is dependent on the conclusion we draw. Being confident in that conclusion is another. Such as you could draw a conclusion that you are a God of Child, and are so far away from being like Him you feel unworthly and in despair and hopless because you always make mistakes. You could also draw a conclusion that being Gods Child means to you he must love you very much. That being your father He is looking out for you, will be there to help you, wants you to succeed and has gifts for you to help you in need and hard times, He's understanding and caring. Many more conclusions can be drawn but these two illustrate the point.

Gaining a full knowledge
Dealing with knowledge there are two types. The kind that we hear and process through our minds. The other type we hear and process through our hearts. One must gain both of these to gain complete knowledge. The more knowledge we gain I believe the more confident we become. How do we gain more knowledge? By doing new, different and sometimes challenging things, being in situations not known to us before. Each time we do so we learn more about who we currently are both the good and the bad. Why is this? because we get to see how we acted and behaved in new way. This also allows us to see our character and test the principles which we are built upon. This is how we grow. I know this is a blog posting. I'm trying to keep this short but this keeps coming out. A want to explain more with examples but, I want to keep this short so please ponder them.

How does this relate with knowing we are Gods children? The more we try out His knowledge the more we will come to know and the more confident we will come to be. There are a lot of things we can be confident in. Knowing we are Gods Children is one of the best things you can be confident in. Another is the Savior. Knowing that we are Gods children and who God is and our relationship to Him empowers us, gives strength, and confidence in who we truly are. I know we are Gods children and knowing that leads to Joy, peace and comfort. (remember we constantly need to be reminded of this, sometimes we forget!)

Why do we need to be confident in dating? well for one you'll have more dates. I'm not sure about you but, I've dated ALOT...and that could mean ALOT of failure. But also a lot of embarrassing moments and the list can go on... Confidence assists us in learning from failure and growing. If we are confident in who we are would that no put confident into another person say a cute girl? Something like going on a date with you would be fun and probably a good idea? YUP! More times I think it's the way we approach a woman then the fact that WE are asking them out. Meaning if they say yes it's because of how we asked them more then they said yes because I Matt asked. (this only applies for times when they don't already like you or they hardly know you as in the 1st time meeting a girl (more on this later)) I might not have this exactly right but it works for me. Having self confidence will get you on more dates.
