DESCRIPTION
Lacking Confidence may be a symptom of a greater problem . . .
Citation preview
“I lack confidence,” a client informed
me. “I need to have it in order to do
my job.”
I’ve known him for awhile and know
he is a dedicated and meticulous
employee.
I got red flagged; something didn’t fit.
Upon further evaluation and discussion, my
client became more aware* of the fact that
for the last year his new boss required
employees to do more work within the
same amount of time.
*awareness
My client shared that he and others
informed the boss that what she was
asking them to do was impossible.
She didn’t listen.
Her attitude changed. She became
sarcastic and even undermined some
of their work. One was fired. My
client was waiting for the ax to fall on
him. “When will I get fired, too?”
My client didn’t lack
confidence!
• He needed to become aware
of his unique design.
• And then do whatever it takes to
find freedom to live within its
limitations.
Freedom within Limitations???
• We better realize that we have
limitations!
• When we do not, we burn-out.
• Then we will lack confidence!
• My client’s body & mind were limited in
that they were not designed to
accomplish what his boss demanded.
• At first it was difficult for him to
acknowledge that he was not a super
hero; he was a human being.
• My client was not designed to be
consistently harassed and
demeaned.
• My client was not designed to work
65 to 70 hours a week and maintain
a home, and maintain great
relationships with his family and
friends.
It was no wonder that my client was
tired, depressed and anxious!
That’s exactly how normal human
beings respond when they are forced
to live outside their designs!
• My client had not hired me to help
with any of that.
• Remember he hired me to help him
regain his confidence!
• His problem, like I said, was NOT
lack of confidence!
• His problem was that he was not in
touch with his own design!
My client PAID for his FREEDOM!
• To his boss he said, “NO!”
• He was fired.
• After a few months he found another job.
My client’s salary decreased
by $10,000 a year.
He had to lose in order to gain.
• Instead of working over 70 hours a week,
he now works 55.
• He’s back to working out.
• He’s back to eating healthy foods.
• He’s not only becoming physically fit,
he’s becoming emotionally and mentally
fit as well.
• He now spends quality time with his
friends & family.
• Sometimes we do lack confidence.
There are many reasons for that.
• At other times, lacking confidence is
not the root of the problem.
• The problem is that we’re living
outside of our unique designs –
attempting to do, think and feel in
ways that are incongruent with who
we are.
• When that happens, its no wonder
we lack confidence! That’s a
natural consequence!
Are we willing to lose in order to
gain . . .
Physical, Emotional,
Spiritual, Mental
FREEDOM?
When we are, we’ll have confidence
and so much more!
