What piece of advice...

Did you get from a parent, coach, teacher, that helped you say "I got this", or helped you feel confident?
One night gripped by a panic attack, my father grabbed me and said“ You’re ok! Take your hands, make tight fists and say or think to yourself…I can overcome this and I will!” Always worked. Thanks dad.

@soar2newhighs I like that, say it with conviction to yourself, 'You're ok!' 🦋

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from an older (I was in my 30's at the time and she was 60 something) lady - she was my bosses secretary (yes, them called them secretaries back then). I was going through a particularly hard time with a bunch of personal stuff and every morning I'd come in with a frown, sometimes a scowl on my face. Finally, after about a week or so of my grumpy butt, she told me "Smile damnit!" She followed it up with "Just try it for one week - smile no matter how you feel. I promise you it will make a big difference."

She was 100% right. It changed my outlook, how I felt about life and the bonus was it changed how people perceived and treated me.
Dont eat yellow snow. And I got that advice from a cat.

My boss said I should apply for the new position in my office. I did not feel qualified, though. Yet I got the job. I guess they have more faith in me than I do. I hope my confidence builds.

My dad put me through Tai Kwon Doo when i was young, and i was taught never to start a fight and if confronted just walk away. But if hands were laid then fight to win quickly. It has served me very very well
