confident

Odd day so far. Am just waiting to hear when my girly is well enough to be picked up from Skem. Have had a productive morning in the meantime, crossing off items on yesterday's to do list, whilst listening to songs from The Sound of Music. Incredibly, I've never watched it – maybe I'll add that to my to do list ;) There's a song I've heard for the first time about confidence and that may well be a key word for today. I saw this quote earlier:

“Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong.”

None of us are always right, and most of us struggle to like people who seem to believe they are. I think it can be a fine line between arrogance and confidence – so I like this idea that confidence isn't arrogance cos it's not to do with being right – it's being ok with being wrong sometimes. I'm getting better at accepting myself when I get it wrong. And I'm glad I don't often let my fear of getting stuff wrong stop me from giving something a go anyway. So I hope you're making plenty of mistakes today, learning and laughing along the way, and being very kind to yourself and others when we show our imperfect selves :)
