ABSTRACT
Developing confidence in our abilities starts with an optimistic point of view. But sometimes developing a positive outlook is difficult. Maybe the girls are dealing with some very difficult things in our life. There may be health or economic issues that the girls have to deal with every day. In Maya Angelou writings, she links gratitude and a positive attitude to building an internal confidence and developing the strength to push through the hard times. Optimism and confidence go hand in hand, and both are enhanced through the development of a grateful heart. Confidence is defined as having the belief that the girls can accomplish what they set out to do. It means that the girls have a fervent belief in our ability to prosper in certain roles and perform at a high level. Pride and confidence are two sides of a coin, really. Confidence is the feeling before the task, whereas pride is the feeling after.
