confidence: full trust in yourself, self-reliance, assurance, boldness.

Confidence comes not only the conviction that one can do whatever she sets her mind to: It also comes from consistently and reliably believing in yourself and the actions you take to back up those beliefs. To be bold is to take action without hesitation.
Kim never hesitates.  
Actions carried out which are obviously risky and challenging are obviously bold.
The little things you do through the course of your day are also bold.
And the little actions are in many ways more important because you must
be consistent in you effort to achieve, progress in your personal growth, and move forward. Day to day achievements build the foundation of what you can do now and into the future. Day to day achievements mold your character so that bold action when required will be second nature. Confidence must be nurtured.
Kim is consistent in Her effort to achieve and build Confidence. 
Kung Fu, no matter which style, teaches the student that he must
be able to do little things over and over with mastery and skill, consistently, reliably, and with Joy. Kim's achievement in learning sixteen styles of Kung Fu exemplifies Her commitment towards perfection through constant effort. Once the student has mastered the little things, then, those tasks, which do take bold action,
will come without hesitation or fear, and with Confidence.
Fear it is said is: A great teacher, but if one builds Confidence through constant
effort through day to day living, then self-assuredness and self-reliance takes over.
Fear and doubt will vanish from your reality and not be a factor.
Fear is unknown to Kim as She dives into all challenges. 
But be on the lookout for the Approval Addiction Ninja.
Accept approval for the things you do. But you shouldn't act simply for the approval of others. You should not base your self-worth and Confidence on the approval and praise received from others. Follow Kim's example:
She doesn't look for praise and approval each time She saves the world. 
Kim saves the world because it is the right thing to do.
Humility provides a space for Confidence to grow. Confidence comes from within you.
First time challenges can present apprehension without Confidence.
With Confidence, even big new challenges of the unknown
are faced with steadfast assuredness.
Challenges transform into opportunities and are Joyously tackled.
Confidence is within, challenges are outside of you
and do not reach into your fortress of Confidence.
Having Confidence in all you do in your life,
destroys stress and apprehension, and makes room for Love and Joy.
Kim takes Her Confidence wherever She goes and applies it to everything She does.

 

 

Be like Kim and Carry Your Confidence in Your Heart!

Kim to Shego:
"I don't care how many powers this jerk has, we can take him."

 

Kim Possible © DisneyWith Ron and Rufis providing the distraction, Kim with a Flying Horseman kicks the power staff out of the hand of Avearius.

 


Kim Possible © DisneyShego grabs the powerstaff and decide to keep it for herself.
Kim battles Shego with all the Superhuman Powers.
Cheerleading Rocks!
 
 

Kim Possible © DisneyKim kicks the powerstaff away from Shego and it shatters on the floor.

The villain Avearius has a power staff that gives him all the powers of Team Go,
including, superhuman strength, the ability to shrink to minuet size, the ability to make multiple copies of himself, as well as the explosive power of Shego.

No one seemingly can overcome the powers of Avearius while he holds the power staff.
After multiple failed attempts to wrench the Power Staff from Avearius
Kim demonstrates continued determination and Confidence in Herself.

Confidence goes beyond knowing you can do something and carrying through.
It goes even further. Even after failure, you have the Confidence and courage to try again.
When you don't succeed on the first attempt, Kim shows that your Confidence, deep from within,
strengthens your will, assuredness and determination to try again. Confidence not only gives you the assuredness to try once, but again and again until you succeed.
After failure Kim tries again and kicks the power staff from Avearius.

Shego then grabs the power staff, and unlike Avearius,|
Shego knows how to use all the powers at the same time.
This presents an even greater challenge for Kim.
When Shego attacks Kim, Kim could just lay down and surrender at this even greater
and seemingly insurmountable threat.
But Kim has Confidence in Her abilities, and Her training as a Cheerleader.
Kim instead turns it up a notch.
Kim avoids the onslaught of Shego and awaits Her opportunity to crush the staff.
Confidence in your abilities and your Self gives you the patience to hold off and wait for the most opportune moment to turn sure defeat into victory.
The greater the obstacle, the more Kim's Confidence wells up insider Her. There is no limit!
There is Joy in the Confidence that breaks through even seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Kim embodies the Confidence to help you through life's challenges and opportunities.

Confidence Wells from Within to Carry You Through.

Wade's Grandpa:
"If that contraption fires off a bolt it could fry up the whole tri-city!"

Kim:
"We have to get to that museum... FAST!"

 

Like Wade's Grandpa said, the "Electro-Static-Illuminator can destroy the whole city."
But in the face of this eminent threat and immediate danger, Kim does not hesitate.
Kim does not run from the danger to save Herself, but goes into the heart of the threat.
Confidence gives Kim the ability to act with without pause, without hesitation.
When quick decisions and immediate action are required,
the Confidence that you have built,
in your day to day actions through meeting the little challenges,
will give you the Confidence you need to meet the big challenges.
The Confidence of Kimness, enables Kim to see the Opportunity within challenges.
With Confidence; Challenges transform into Opportunities. Kim Possible uses these Opportunities to express Her natural Kimness exemplified, in part,
by Her quick thinking and quick action.
When split-second decisions are needed, the little tasks you have accomplished, day to day, throughout your life will give you the training and Confidence to perform at your best and transform your challenges into Opportunities.

Be like Kim and change those challenges to Opportunities!

Dr. Drakken's giant poodle (Commodore Puddles) is about to dig into the super secret military base, "Area 51". Dr. Drakon is after the alien technology that is kept hidden away there. (Flying Saucers, Alien Technology, yadee, yadee, yadda.) General Simms decides the only option left is to activate the self-destruct system and blowup the whole base so the secrets kept at the base will not be exposed. General Simms is desperate as all other options have failed and this is his only option left.

Kim Possible © DisneyIn the super-secret Area 51 underground complex.
General Simms:
"Well, I'm afraid we're out of options. I'm initiating the base's self-destruct system. The secrets contained in Area 51 must never be exposed."
Kim: "Sir! We still have one last line of defense!"
General Simms: "And what might that be?"
Kim: "ME!"
General Simms: "You've got ten minutes."

Kim goes out to do battle with the thirty foot poodle and promptly gets defeated.
Your Confidence, should be tempered by the tools you have at your disposal,
and your knowledge of yourself. (Keep it real.)

But even if you are the underdog; Don't saddle your Confidence with fear or doubt.
No one starts a baseball game knowing the outcome.
You play the game, doing your best, even if you are the underdog.
The outcome of any contest is never fore-known.
And the underdog can win. They often do!
Kim had the Confidence in Her abilities to go out and try.
The assuredness that trying is better than not trying,
will come from your Confidence in your Self.
When all doors are locked, and it seems that opening them is hopeless,
be Confident in your abilities and your Self to try opening them anyway.
Kimness is never giving up and never saying never.

Oh by the way; If Kim hadn't tried to battle the poodle, the base would have been blown up,
and Rufis wouldn't have had the time to save the day!

Like Kim, have the Confidence that your actions save the day even in apparent defeat!
No action is ever wasted. And trying even in defeat is a victory over not trying at all.

No Matter What the Odds, Let Your Confidence Spur You On To Try!

Kim Possible © DisneyKim and Ron are Trapped on a high ocean mountain cliff surrounded by the henchmen of Falsetto Jones with no apparent means of escape.
Falsetto Jones:
"Shows over Kim Possible."
 

Kim Possible © Disney
Kim: "SO NOT!"
 


 

Kim Possible © DisneyKim: "JUMP!"

Kim's answer to Falsetto Jones' pronouncement is short and sweet.
But where is the Big Confident response?
"So Not" isn't saying much about what action Kim intends to take
or the Confidence Kim has inside.
Or is it?
Confidence is not bragging about one's Self or abilities.
The Confidence that comes from Kimness is not often expressed through the spoken word.
The Confidence that Kim has that She can escape from Falsetto's estate and evade capture
is not fully verbalized.
The Confidence that Kim has: Is expressed through Her actions.
Through your actions people will know you have Confidence.
Talking about Confidence does not help to take advantage of opportunities.
The Confidence that is Kimness is implemented through and expressed as action.
Confidence, it would seem, is not heard but seen.
Humility plays an important role here and helps to integrate the behavior that saves the energy and time that would otherwise be wasted talking about having Confidence.
Confidence is expressed when it is a facet of your being.
When it is part of your makeup, your persona. A part of who You are.
For instance: The way you speak, is a part of you. You however, are not your speech.
Your speech like any other mannerism expresses who you are, it is a part of you, but not you.
Your speech is a definable object just like any other tool.
You can work to improve your speech, your pronunciations and study to increase your vocabulary to handle more and more complex discourse and accomplish the goals you have set.
Your speech is a tool that you use throughout your life in order to succeed in the world.
Your Confidence is like your speech. You can define it, study it, you can change it.
Confidence is a tool.
Once defined, you can improve your Confidence, sharpen your Confidence,
strengthen your Confidence,
so that you can apply it to more and more complex situations and
accomplish the goals you have set.

Make Confidence a part of your tool kit and it will become a critical part of your success.
When your are comfortable and Confident in your abilities,
you will express your Confidence in the way you carry yourself,
the way you do things, everything about you will express your Confidence.
Confidence is expressed through your Kimness. Kimness is expressed through your Confidence.

Watch Kim Possible to See Kim's Confidence at Work!
