Prompt #40 - Confidence
Prompt #40
My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.

- Jessica Alba

I know people think that I am a confident person and I suppose I do give that impression but I am not always confident. Standing in front of a man with a gun I may seem confident and calm but in truth, I;m afraid. Fear is a natural part of being human. What matters is that I don't let fear control my actions.

Not letting fear control my actions is how I am bale to maintain a feeling of confidence. If I appear confident it gives people around me strength and helps them conquer their own fears. Although it might seem that I make it appear easy the truth is it's not. There are times when I wish I could show how I really felt, there are timed when I wish I had no fear.

I have some idea of what I am doing. I try to read the people around me, to see what their emotional state is so I can better judge my own reactions to them. If I am able to tailor my own appearance to their emotions it will be easier for them and hopefully lead to a good outcome to difficult situations.
