You want to know why your confidence is gone? It's because you keep telling yourself you're going to do shit and then you just don't do it. You're going to get in shape. You're going to sit there and fix your marriage. You're going to stop drinking. You're going to get serious about your life. But guess what? Then tomorrow comes and nothing changes. Listen, dude, that ain't a motivation problem. That's a self-respect problem. All you got to do is pick one damn promise today and just keep it. The day your confidence starts again is the day your word means something again.
