Our soul is the greatest love of all, and we must Believe in our life and our dreams to get what we want in everyday life. Building self-esteem is about learning to recognize what is unique, special, and good about us. It is also important that we learn to develop self-compassion, and treat ourselves with the same love and kindness that we readily give to others. Kindness is not jut about how we treat others; it is rooted in how we treat ourselves. The reason that so many people never fulfill their potential is not a lack of intelligence, opportunity or resources, but a lack of belief in themselves. Confidence is the product of the thoughts we think and the actions we take. It is not based on what actual ability is, but the foundation to succeed is discovered in our ability to succeed. We have to believe that we know what we are talking about in order to educate an audience. If an individual wants to learn new technology skills, there must be a passion in the heart and desire in our minds to absorb the information. God created us to be natural born leaders and our ability to lead is based on our faith that we are competent beings. As peaceful beings, we must also have the ability to handle confrontation and manage conflict, as people are better able to flourish in peaceful environments. If we believe that we will be successful in our relationships, then that will manifest and become a reality. #RandolphHarris 1 of 9

Law of Nature is the cornerstone of utilitarian ethics, namely, the law that all actions should promote the common good. The beliefs that we hold true direct our actions and shape our lives. Research into neural plasticity reveals that we can literally reprogram our brains in ways that affect our thoughts and behaviour at any point in our mortal journey. Therefore, building self-confidence is vastly defined as being volitional; by choice. With consistent effort, and the courage to take risk, we can gradually expand our confidence, and with it, our capacity to build more of it. Understanding ourselves is key to improving our situation in life and our outlook—often referred to as our happiness quotient. As we learn new business skills and gain an education, we also need to learn about the inner workings of our own souls. We are here on Earth to learn and grow. Rather than praying for problems to be fixed or asking for help in overcoming obstacles, we should pray that we have a better understanding of ourselves and learn more about what we need to overcome. God is the sole power to translate knowledge of ethical truth into action. We are children of God and he put us here to be successful. Although we may not be perfect, we are on the right path. It is important to know that whatever comes our way, with the help of God, we will be able to persevere. #RandolphHarris 2 of 9

To restrain the natural human tendencies to envy, mistrust, self-aggrandizement, and aggression, the virtues of accommodation, gratitude, clemency, obedience to authority, and respect for equal rights of others are recommended by laws of nature as means of ensuring social harmony. Also, not all jealousy is bad. Sometimes jealousy can encourage people to act. For example, if you are jealous of someone’s relationship and how happy they are, this envy can encourage you to find ways to improve your own relationship. Or if someone is jealous of someone else’s house, this envy may make them take action, work more hours and build the house of their dreams. Sometimes, in new relationships, people tend to get sad often for no reason and that is because things are just developing and have not reached the stage of full disclosure. People may act nonchalant because there is a time and a place for everything and they may not want everyone all up in their business. This moral sensibility turns us from the pursuit of pleasure toward the performance of duties toward others and explains our admiration of self-sacrifice independently of external reward or punishment. However, it is important to keep in mind that pleasure is the goal of all human action and consequently is the fundamental standard of evaluation. #RandolphHarris 3 of 9

Good is the object of desire, assuming that the only property of things which provokes desire is their tendency to produce pleasure or reduce pain. Good is also defined as what has an aptness to produce pleasure in us. “Let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distill upon thy soul as the dews from Heaven,” reports Doctrine and Covenants 121.45. We call things good for the same reason that we call them beautiful: because we find them agreeable. An object is good if it is immediately pleasant, or if it is a useful means for attaining something else that is pleasant. Virtues are qualities that render a person agreeable or useful to oneself or to others, whether they are natural virtues such as talent, wit, and benevolence or artificial virtues like honesty and justice. Our spiritual confidence is largely determined by our prior spiritual success and, unfortunately, by our prior spiritual mishaps. Our prior choices will greatly influence how our spiritual basket will look, large or small, the next time we are at the line. Every act, good or bad, has a consequence. Every good act improves our ability to do good and more firmly stand against sin or failure. Every transgression, regardless of how minor, makes us more susceptible to the adversary’s influence next time he or she tempts us. #RandolphHarris 4 of 9

The adversary takes an inch at a time, deceiving us as to the consequences of so-called minors sins until he or she captures us in a web of sins filled with major transgressions. “And behold, others the adversary flatters away, and telling them there is no hell; and he says unto them: I am not the adversary, for there is no such thing—and this he whispers in their ears, until he grasps them with his or her awful chains, from when there is no deliverance.” Reports 2 Nephi 28.22. Thus arises the sense of moral duty. Of course, confidence can wax and wane throughout our lives. It is boosted when we experience a win or receptive praise. When our efforts fall short of our goal, we are criticized, rejected or simply feel a lack of external recognition, it may reflect on us by depressing out confidence. It is therefore vital not to become overly reliant on external affirmation to prop up our self-worth, but to take ownership for taking the worthwhile actions needed to sustain it. “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in humans,” reports Psalms 118.8. How do we build the confidence required to overcome our challenges and achieve our goals, particularly when we do not first succeed? The single most powerful way to build confidence is to act with the respect we aspire to have. We must act as if we already possess the confidence we aspire to have by speaking up, reaching out, and getting out of our comfort zone. #RandolphHarris 5 of 9

Despite our fear of failure, the only way to build self-confidence is to take a risk and take action. If things do not work out, we now know that we can handle more than we thought we could. Either way, we are better off because the motivating processes that cause us to approve of moral virtue as an answer to the question of what criteria we use to judge person and actions to be worthy of moral approval eliminate the belief that we cannot do anything else and are stuck in the same roles of unfulfilled desires. When we stop reaching, we stop learning and when we stop learning, we stop growing. Freedom is not a quality of the will but a relation between desire, action, and environment, such that a person is free when his or her actions are caused by our own desires and unimpeded by external restraints. The more we use our soft determinism, it will allow our value, competence, resilience, influence, self-efficacy and confidence in our ability to make things happen grow! The moral sense, or conscience, that enables people to distinguish right from wrong as combination of benevolent emotion and rational intuition strengthens our confidence. Freedom of the will is the ground moral responsibility, as we are introspectively aware of our ability to choose between good and evil independently of our desires. #RandolphHarris 6 of 9

Think of something you have always wanted to do but have avoided because you fear it cloud be embarrassing. Now clear your mind and give it a go. It is not only vital to our future success, but failing to take a risk and have a go can ultimately put the confidence we have now at risk. That is, if we do not use it, we lose it. According to the laws of freedom, a rational being imposes his or her own actions and expects other rational beings to recognize and obey. The justification for these rules lies in the logical fact that to be rational means to act in accordance with general rules and moral rules are those which can be followed consistently by all rational beings. Thus, insofar that one is moral, one is rational and, in this sense, free; insofar as one is immoral, one is an irrational slave to one’s natural inclinations. The reward of virtue is not happiness but dignity and freedom. When we shift our physical state, it shifts our mental and emotional state. Putting ourselves in a power pose literally changes our physiology releasing a hearty dose of testosterone to fuel our bravery. What we think about and focus on everyday will manifest in our lives. So may want to know, why is it everyday you have an article prepared? Well, it is part of mental mastery, to flood the brain with knowledge and information in an effort to manage the mind and soul. Some people are going through hell everyday and in pain, but they are always happy when you see them because they are practicing mental mastery. #RandolphHarris 7 of 9

Also, it is important to appear happy in public and treat people with respect because reputation does matter and we should treat people with the kind of respect that we want. This is our duty. Duty is distinct from pleasure and utility, and moral virtue or good will is the supreme good to which all other values are subordinate, and moral worth is not measures either by the consequence of a person’s actions or by one’s natural benevolence, but by the agent’s intention to obey moral laws. Think of someone you greatly admire wo radiates a quiet sense of confidence, and think about what they would do or say if they were facing your current challenges and opportunities. Channel their self-confidence, certitude, and bravery. Do not make false promises. What we put our attention on amplifies in our reality. Focus on things that make one anxious, and one will become more anxious. Focus on things that inspire one, and one will feel more powerful. Like all emotions, confidence breeds confidence. Make the conscious and courageous decision not to give self-doubt the power to keep one from pursuing a bold ambition, have a tough conversation, or lay one’s pride on the line. #RandolphHarris 8 of 9

It is not in virtue what satisfied human needs, but in virtue of the demand of reason that action be in accordance with universal law, that we feel obligated to obey moral principles. With God, families are essential. He created the Earth that we could gain physical bodies and form families. To set our house in an order pleasing to the Lord, we need to do it his way. We are to employ his attribute of righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, and patience. We are supposed to be living examples of kindness, and pure knowledge, which greatly enlarge the soul. The moral duty and self-interest coincide because God, as the paramount authority, commands us through the Scriptures and the promptings of the conscience to seek the general good as well as our own happiness. Moral obligation is supported both by natural pleasure in the well-being of others and by the fear of divine punishments which provides the selfish, but rational person with a good reason to sacrifice one’s pleasure for the common good. There is an ideal way for us live with impressive purity and faith in the quest for human perfectibility. Human beings are rational agents and members of a kingdom of ends in which we are both subject and sovereign, legislating for ourselves and others. The highest goal of human life is to realize this ideal kingdom in individual and social practice. Anchored in truth, that iron rod is immovable and immutable. #RandolphHarris 9 of 9
