If there\u2019s one seed to plant that will guarantee success, it\u2019s the ability to change your approach. In fact, all those Action Signals\u2014those things you used to call negative emotions\u2014are just messages to be more flexible! Choosing to be flexible is choosing to be happy. Throughout your life there will be times when there are things you will not be able to control, and your ability to be flexible in your rules, the meaning you attach to things, and your actions will determine your long-term success or failure, not to mention your level of personal joy. The reed that bends will survive the windstorm, while the mighty oak tree will crack. If you cultivate all of the above emotions, then you\u2019ll surely develop confidence.
\nUnshakable confidence is the sense of certainty we all want. The only way you can consistently experience confidence, even in environments and situations you\u2019ve never previously encountered, is through the power of faith. Imagine and feel certain about the emotions you deserve to have now, rather than wait for them to spontaneously appear someday in the far distant future. When you\u2019re confident, you\u2019re willing to experiment, to put yourself on the line. One way to develop faith and confidence is simply to practice using it. If I were to ask whether you\u2019re confident that you can tie your own shoes, I\u2019m sure you could tell me with perfect confidence that you can. Why? Only because you\u2019ve done it thousands of times! So practice confidence by using it consistently, and you\u2019ll be amazed at the dividends it reaps in every area of your life.
\nIn order to get yourself to do anything, it\u2019s imperative to exercise confidence rather than fear. The tragedy of many people\u2019s lives is that they avoid doing things because they\u2019re afraid; they even feel bad about things in advance. But remember: the source of success for outstanding achievers often finds its origin in a set of nurtured beliefs for which that individual had no references! The ability to act on faith is what moves the human race forward.
