How to Find Confidence When All You Know is Fear
Hello people, and welcome to the first of many promised videos which will discuss how I found confidence in some of the darkest points in my life. I sincerely hope you enjoy this story.
When I chose to move away from my entire support structure and head to Washington D.C. alone for law school, I started with all the arrogance you could imagine. But when I arrived, I was hit with paralyzing fear that I had never experienced before, and I lost all confidence in myself and my capabilities. This caused me to learn so much about myself, but more importantly about to carry myself to where I wanted to be.
If you are in a place right now that feels incredibly dark, lonely, cold, and completely hopeless, I promise you I was there and I want to tell you that you can bring yourself out of anything. I hope you can take some of my experiences and lessons and use them to help you in your own life right now, because I'm serious when I say that you can do this. Trust yourself, and you can do this.
