Confidence: Who needs it and how do you get some?

The beastly floods have gone…good riddence

Confidence is a mercurial condition, fluid and unreliable.
Contrary to the persona I project (learned when at Boarding School) I’m not a confident person. I can be, but it’s hard work and takes its toll.

I recently won 1st prize in a Flash Fiction competition and was completely blown over; though I entered, I had little doubt I could ever be in the reckoning. How wrong I was…

A pat on the back can do wonders and we all need one, now and sometimes again. I don’t believe there is anyone who doesn’t need a little boost some time.

So now I’m trying to be the success I have become and doing a little personal PR; sharing my still uncertain confidence.
