Confidence is when you can "shut the monkeys up!"

You know these little monkeys; they sit on your shoulders and whisper things in your ear like:

• "You aren’t good enough and never will be"
• "Your thighs jiggle when you walk and everyone notices"
• "Everyone is looking at all the gray hair showing through your color"
• "Who do you think you are wearing a belt-you don’t have a waist!"

I could go on for hours, maybe even days. The point is that if you don’t listen to the “monkeys” they eventually go away. Think about it, are you really that self absorbed and egotistical that you think someone else really cares whether or not your thighs jiggle? Assume that they are noticing the inner beauty radiating from your being and are too entranced to notice anything else!
