Inspiration To Go Do It! Here We Come 2016!

As I look forward to 2016, I find myself thinking about self-efficacy, which means your belief in your ability to do something. 

It’s different than self-esteem, which means how good you feel about yourself. But they’re related… As you increase your self-efficacy, you tend to feel better about yourself.

So, in celebration of self-efficacy - of all the things you have tried that were scary, even on the SMALLEST of levels, I offer you this wonderful list of quotes compiled by Jeff Haden. I have put my favorites below. To see the entire list, click here.
