Self-trust does not grow from positive thoughts alone.

Self-trust does not grow from positive thoughts alone. It grows each time you keep a small promise you made to yourself. If you decided to walk for ten minutes, read one page, or make one important call, do exactly that. Do not choose such a large goal that you disappoint yourself again tomorrow. Trusting yourself is the memory that “I say it, and I do it.” Begin with small promises, but take them seriously. That is how you become someone you can rely on.
