Self-Assurance is similar to self-confidence.In the deepest part of you, you just know you are able-able to take risk, able to meet challenges, able to stake claims and most important, able to deliver. But self-assurance is more than just self confidence. Blessed with self-assurance, you have the confidence not only in your abilities but in your judgement. When you look at the world, you know that your perspective is unique and distinct.
No one can tell you what to think. They can only guide you. But you alone have the authority to form conclusion, make decisions. This authority, this final accountability for the living of your life, does not intimidate you. On the contrary it feels natural to you.
