Saturday at Brookside Gardens & Lack of Faith

You Lack Faith in Yourself and Confidence in Your Abilities- Be honest with yourself - is there are part of you that is really doubting yourself and your ability to achieve the goal you have set out for yourself?  Maybe you're having a case of the "Who Do I Think I Am to Do This" Syndrome.  I do not believe that there is any dream too big for us but it can feel too big if we lack confidence in ourselves and our abilities. I always say "Belief in oneself and one's abilities is the foundation on which success builds."  If we don't start with a foundation of belief, faith and confidence in ourselves, we won't be able to give our dream or goal a solid structure.

Recommendation:  Work a program that targets building confidence and belief in yourself.  There are some great home study courses, coaching programs and books out there for building self-confidence. This can also be a great target area for a master mind or support group.  You can also work with a coach on this.  And if the problem is not just a temporary lapse in confidence but a manifestation of a deeper underlying issue, consider working with a licensed therapist.

Here's to your success!  I would love to hear about your accomplishments as the rest of the year progresses. kate@vivacitynow.com

Where is Brookside Gardens?  It is located in the Wheaton Regional Park in Montgomery County, Maryland. www.BrooksideGardens.org  It is a favorite destination for Dolores and me.  Now is a good time to take your family for a visit and enjoy the Wings of Fancy butterfly exhibit at the Conservatory.

This group of photographs is from the Azalea Show at Brookside Gardens.  If you have photographs from your favorite places, please share them in the comments for this post.

Hello Roy,

I have checked into trying to get  a "coach" but quickly found out they wanted to be paid for their advice. Can you believe that? LOL

No funds for that right now. I'm in a small market. But I will trudge onward.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Best to Delores.

As I sit here this Saturday morning with my cup of coffee it is overcast and we are experiencing a bit of thunder and lightning. But I am thinking it is a beautiful day sitting here viewing your lovely photos. Your message it spot on, it is the individual person responsible for starting the journey toward self-improvement and success. Enjoy the day!

Roy,

Excellent post. I have a book that I'd like to recommend called God is My Coach, A Business Leader's Guide To Finding Clarity in an Uncertain World by Larry Julian. He is also the best selling author of God Is My CEO. It's a great book that guides the reader through an 8 step coaching process, teaching us how to live and lead in in the context of uncertainty rather than becoming paralyzed by it.

I can't afford a real coach, but when I find good books, I keep them and refer to them often.

Have a wonderful Fourth of July.

Dolores and I just returned from a long Sunday day trip to Pennsylvania. Getting there was easy. The return traffic was horrible.
