Self confidence begins actually with the acknowledge of one's own value. It continues with assuming and using the assets and transformation of defaults. It is a continuous self-knowledge way, along which we find out what we are able to achieve.

We have chosen a few words of the "Handbook of the warriour of light" by Paulo Coelho, that seem appropriate to illustrate the title of this section. Let the author's words to find their place inside you and bring you the ideas you need at this moment, guide your steps to the necessary actions now.


"A warrior of light knows his faults. But he also knows his assets. Some of his companions complain all the time (Others have more opportunities than we do). They probably are right, but a warrior of the light does not let himself blocked by this, instead he tries to get the maximum value of his virtues.

He knows that the power of a deer resides in the firmity of its legs. The power of a seagull is in the precision to catch a fish. He has learned that a tiger does not fear a hyena because it is aware of its own power.

He tries to know what he can rely on. He always checks his equipment made of three things: faith, hope and love.

If he has those three, he steps forward without hesitation."



"The very moment when he starts walking, a warrior of the light recognizes the Way.

Each stone, each curve of the path welcomes him. He identifies himself with the mountains and rivers, he sees something of himself in plants, animals and birds of the field.

Then, accepting God's help and God's signs, he leaves his Personal Legend to guide him towards the charges life gives him.

Some nights he does not have a place to sleep, other nights he suffers of insomnia. (That's it) the warrior thinks, (I have chosen this way).

All his power resides in this sentence: he has no reason to complain for he choses the way to follow."
