I’m pretty gullible, but there are always going to be just some things that I’m a little be wary around. Being on the Internet as an Affiliate Marketer for over a year now, I’ve learnt to mistrust a lot of the products that are advertised online.

Sometimes, I join lists just for the fun of it to keep an open mind to new marketing techniques/tactics. After the Mind Movies launch, I’ve received not a lot besides pitches for other products related in the self-improvement niche. I’ve ignored these pitches up until last night when I was bored and just decided, “what the hey”.

This time, they were promoting Sasha Xarrian from OutrageousMastery.com. Check out the website if you want, but personally, it screams out SCAM to me, even if the main product is on $17. It’s just the feel of the website and testimonials. They just feel and read very scammily.

Anyway, that’s far from the point. The free PDF they were giving away from the website was worth a read. What I tend to do when I read free reports is skim through them, then if something catches my eye or I have a mini-epiphany, then I’ll go back to the start and re-read the whole thing slowly.

So there was something that caught my eye as I was reading and it was the chapter on Guilt. I’ve been feeling guilty lately about some relationship stuff that’s been going on, so naturally, I read on. It just had some instructions on how to get rid of guilt from your life, since it saps your spirit and strength.

I don’t know. It just got me into a contemplative mood, thinking about what self-confidence was and how guilt fitted into the scheme of things. I’ll blame myself before I blame others. If you’re pissed off at someone, it’s usually a reflection of an insecurity you have. Keeping that in mind, whenever anger does ebb at my conscience, I remember that and go on. However, the fact that it did ebb initially means that there was some internal gravitational force that caused that emotion to be stirred up. So basically, I’m in denial.

I’ve copied Page  3 for you, since it’s quite simple to understand. It’s what Self-Confidence isn’t, so it’ll help you understand what Self-Confidence is.

2. WHAT SELF-CONFIDENCE IS NOT
Self-confidence is not acting like you are better than others.
Self-confidence is not feeling like you are better than others.
Self-confidence never feels false. It is not something that
you should feel guilty for wanting.
Self-confidence is not the ability to step on others or
promote yourself by tearing someone else down.
Many people are afraid to desire great gifts for themselves.
They feel if they desire great things for themselves it will mean
that they are filled with pride and may mean they are not worthy,
loving people. But, nothing could be further from the truth.
It takes a level of self-confidence to desire great things for
yourself and you never achieve great things without first having
the desire for them.
Having self-confidence does not mean you are unworthy. It
does not mean you should feel guilty for wanting to possess it.
Self-confidence is not boastful or mean or taking advantage
of others.
