A stands for ACTION. You have to do something to overcome obstacles in order to grow in confidence. In other words, you can’t say, “when I get confidence, then I will stand up and say it.” First you start stand up and say it. Then, as you say it, you will gain confidence. First you must take action without having the confidence in order to create the confidence. The next two elements are what make this action effective.
C stands for COURAGE. It takes a lot of courage to act when confronted with difficult obstacles and challenges. Without courage most people simply stay in their comfort zones doing only what they are good at. We get courage in many ways. The best way is an inner belief that we can do it no matter how discouraging things get. Most of us don’t have this strong inner belief, and we need encouragement. As you can see, the actual word courage is inside the word encouragement. One way you can get encouragement is from other people. Cheerleaders in your life can give you the energy and motivation you need to keep on going. Encouragement can also come from songs, inspirational books, poems, and from motivational audio and video tapes. Another very powerful ways to get courage are to tap into your own past courage experiences and use that to give you courage for your present challenges.
T stands for Target. You must have a goal in mind that you want to accomplish. You need a target to aim at. At the same time you need to be open to unexpected results. You may get a pleasant surprise, a result that is different from, but even better than you expected.
