I’m with you all the way on this one Pam. Smiles are instantaneous, but confidence takes time to build up. And we need to be sure what we consider to be our confidence is not seen as arrogance by others. Another one of those fine lines we live within.

For most of us, it takes time to build confidence. Some never get any, sadly.

Even when you have confidence, the universe tries to shake it from you. Stay strong, Pam, you got this.

True…but that way would not have any experience or be as firmly built, would lack in credibility and would have rashes where the many masks were worn. The other way leaps tall buildings in a single bound and eats chocolate while doing it 😂 🤣

Confidence is a strange thing indeed. Some have it in gobs when they really shouldn’t while others fight it for fear it will cloud their vison.
