confidence

Long before his heroics Saturday night put the Cincinnati Bengals into their first AFC Championship game in 34 years, Evan McPherson had delivered under the lights.

There are times where a leader takes on a new responsibility or an additional discipline, and the pressure does not develop the leader. Instead the pressure causes the leader to realize, “I am not that passionate about this” or “I am not particularly gifted for this.” This is NOT a failure. This is great! Because now the leader can focus with more confidence on what he or she is most passionate about or gifted for.

The truth is that it’s not just skill and experience that produces your confidence in the natural realm; your confidence is greatly strengthened on the inside at a soul level.

Adaptability is essential to navigating this season of crisis, and it is a core component in developing your confidence.

"Hope only exists in the future."
