Self Confidence Tip: Take Steps to Follow your dreams

Redirect your focus, think about your dreams and do something around them. Energy will return and good things will happen.

This happened to a friend of mine. He was laid off. He'd been working very long hours, lots of overtime & was not happy, but was afraid to quit & look for something else.

I encouraged him when he got laid off to follow his dreams of writing. He's always wanted to become a writer, but never had the time. Now he has all the time in the world. I told him to look at it as a blessing in disguise.

I emailed him information on writing groups & local classes, even signed him up for a weekend writers retreat.

Since then he's taken a few classes at the community college and is currently working on his first book. This is so cool!

I really believe if he had not been laid off he NEVER would've followed his dreams.

So even though it would've been easy for him to become depressed & stressed out I feel he's re-directed his focus in the direction of his dreams, and actually doing what he wants to do.
