Happy New Year!

Confidence: belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities. 

Confidence is the basis of each of my New Year’s Resolutions. Why? Because something I learned over the past year is that believing in your own capabilities makes all the difference. The future can seem daunting because it’s so full of uncertainty, and no matter how much time and energy you put into planning, there are just some things that are completely out of your control. 

The good news? The most important thing is completely and 100% under your control. In fact, it’s up to you whether or not you will utilize it. Have you guessed what it is yet? You got it! CONFIDENCE. 

2015 is YOUR YEAR, and each day you wake up is your time to seize the moment and make your dreams a reality. Sure, it’s inevitable that people and things will try to get in your way, and they will make being confident in yourself tougher, but that’s life. And it builds character. And it makes overcoming those roadblocks all the more rewarding. When it comes down to it, the most important opinion someone can have of you is yourself. So make it a good one! Go into each day with a confidence that no person or circumstance can take away from you, and you will shine. 

Anyways, it’s been about a year now since I started “Steppin’ with Vanessa,” and I’d like to say thanks to everyone who’s been steppin’ along with me on this journey. I hope my posts have given you some good insight and just serve as refreshing reads during your week. Keep steppin’ with confidence into 2015, and make it your best year yet! God bless.

Love, 

Vanessa
