them, whether anybody else has them or not.

You can try taking a martial arts or fitness class/course (or both). This will
help build confidence and strength.

in some new clothing and donate some of your old clothing to send a message to
yourself that you both look sharp and feel sharp.

saying you can't do something, stop and say you can. Unless you try, you will
never know whether you are able to or not.

11)
Don't confuse what you have with who you are. People degrade their self worth
when comparing possessions.

sure to push your self a bit, who knows that bit may lead you to success
