You see things and you say, “Why?” But I dream things that never were, and I say, “Why not?” – George Bernard Shaw.

I have this quote framed in my office and I recite it every morning, without fail.

Whenever I don’t feel as confident as I want to feel in a given situation, or I feel scared and nervous, I repeat this quotation a few times and then I challenge the event that had stalled me.

Why not? What have I got to lose but learn from the experience that could’ve held me back? That took away my self-confidence.

I recite, Why not then I stand tall, portray an appearance of confidence and confront the challenge.
