Poise and True Confidence

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

As you begin to let go of your concern for what others think, you start to unveil the authentic you. The grip of outside influence loosens, no longer changing who you are or forcing you to be something else. Self-control and confidence become your greatest allies in this process, each strengthening the other as you move forward.

John Wooden describes this as poise—just being you. A man will only rise to the height of his confidence level, so do not allow anyone else to define or satisfy you. Rise to the levels you dream of and release the weight of concern about what others think.
