You may doubt your abilities when it comes to discussing ideas or trying to negotiate a compromise in business or in a personal relationship today. If so, feelings of inadequacy may be standing as a block to your progress. Perhaps you find yourself stopping short of fully disclosing your thoughts or feelings to another person. Maybe you are worried that what you have to say doesn't carry enough weight. It may help you to believe in the strength of your own convictions today. You could consider reflecting on what you wish to communicate. If you can come to a complete and honest understanding of your ideas or your position, you may find yourself better equipped to share you thoughts with others.

When we are clear about the power of our convictions, we can express ourselves and our ideas with dignity and self-assurance. The sum of our knowledge and life experiences is the foundation for our beliefs and the choices we make. The positions we take and the ideas we have as a result of this are valid, important, and worth communicating. When we recognize this truth, our conviction springs forth and carries with it our well-spoken feelings and ideas. Put the power of your convictions behind the thoughts you express today, and you will communicate with grace and confidence.
