Building Confidence One Brick at a Time 

 

Building a brick wall takes time, skill and patience. As each brick is cemented into place, the wall becomes stronger. Learning the necessary skills to build confidence is much like building a wall. It begins with one brick and is a life-long process.

 

Building confidence one brick at a time encourages youth, teens and adults to discover the following:

·  It is important to recognize, admit and learn from your mistakes.

·  Exiting your comfort zone, welcoming new opportunities and taking risks will help you to achieve better things and meet your goals.

·  It takes courage to make positive choices and do what is right, even if others criticize you for it.

·  Personal esteem increases as you give of your time through service in your community, church and family.

·  Low self-esteem can be destructive and may prevent forward progression.

·  Self-confident individuals believe in themselves and their abilities to succeed and live life to its fullest.

Building a brick wall of confidence requires change in perspective, beliefs and behaviors.   Recognize that change is difficult and setbacks will occur. Altering thoughts and actions will be challenging. In the end, feelings of success and self-esteem will be worth the struggles endured through the building process.
