Confidence

This is my third post I promised. This one is going to be all about confidence.

I think that rights movements happen when they happen becasue of timing, but I also think that it takes the confidence of many to create that movenment.

Confidence in believing what they are doing is the right thing, confidence in their own abilities to help their cause (s), confidence in others abilities, confidence in small and large victories, and confidence in making sure that when they are gone the change will continue to thrive.

Confidence isn't easy. I believe people are born with confidence, but that there are people who try to tear it out of others to make themsleves happier.

It doesn't work, the people aren't happier and there is less confidence in the world making change happen at an even slower rate.

This needs to stop. We need to teach children to have confidence in what they do no matter what. Yes, movements falter, yes it takes forever to grant people rights, but that doesn't mean confidence should falter.

People need to figure out ways to keep their confidence alive. Whether it's cooking, sports, academia, humor, counseling, or speech giving, all people have something they are confident they are amazing at. 

They just need to learn that they don't just have one, they have many. It isn't that no one can make you feel inferior with out your permission, it is that no one can make you feel inferior when you know exactly who you are and accept it.

I'm not saying this is an easy thing to want or do, but it is a necessary step people need to take.
It is something that can no longer be ignored or put off for another day. 

Rights movements need confidence, people listen to confidence. Small or big all rights movements can use a little more confidence.
