I'm from Finland

I'm from Finland

Went into an American shoe store
two weeks ago when I was travelling
through Florida. I wanted a specific shoe
and I told the woman behind the counter
if she has it then I will pay cash and
take it with me.

The woman looked at my feet and said
"We don't have your size in here. I can
have your shoe in next week. Give
me your number and I'll call you."

I said, "I'm not from America"

She looked at me, paused and said,
"Yeah. Are you from, like, Finland?"

I'm really tall with red hair and an
Australian accent. Think of a little
less snow and a little more hot, dusty

plains with kangaroos. If you've seen
the new Nicole Kidman film called Australia
then you know what my home country is like
and how different it is from Scandinavia.

I smiled at her and replied in my best
Aussie accent, "Yeah, one of those
countries outside America."

Her smile beamed back at me.

It's not that the woman was dumb. In fact
it happens a lot with people I've just met.
In England I'm asked if I'm American.
In America I'm asked if I'm English.
In Croatia I'm asked if I'm German.
After living in or travelling to over
28 countries I've lost count of where everyone
thinks I'm from.

It's also not uncommon for people to say,
"You know, you remind me of someone".

When you're confident, people's brains get fried.
They can't pidgeon hole you.
They want to, but can't stereotype you.
They also get a sense of knowing you.

When you're confident, everyone gets a feeling
of knowing you. They will look at you and
swear your name is on the tip of their tongue.

They can't pre-judge you so there's no
prejudice about you. Whenever that happens,
it means there's no longer a

barrier between you. Speaking with them
about anything becomes easy.

That's why when you have a confident
attitude doors will open for you. Barriers
will drop for you. The more confident you
feel, the more you will get done.

Much of that is because other people's
resistances will drop. It's like you're
vibrating at a higher frequency.
And there are many well documented stories
showing that raising your energy brings you
more of the good things in life.

You can raise your frequency. You can have
people think they know you from somewhere.
Become confident and doors will open for
you. You will have people want to know
you. People out of the blue will start to
offer you the things you've always wanted.
They will think it is strange but still do

it because they will want to invite you
along. All this will happen when you
follow the simple steps in my book

The Confidence Bible from
http://www.instantconfidence.com. And with
the DVDs it will happen even faster.

If you thought confidence was all about
walking on fire or jumping from planes then
you're missing the real point. All of those
things may happen when you raise yourself
out of the low energy level of Fear. But
you may also find your self doing actions
more "heroic" and "confident" like reminding
your family more often that you love them.

Or like one married couple I consulted with
who raised their energy and forgave each
other in an arguement - the same arguement
they'd been repeating for 23 years. They
stopped and watched years of past hurt dissolve
away, as if by magic.

You may never ride a mountain bike down a
vertical cliff face, but your life will change.
So go to http://www.instantconfidence.com and
make it happen today.

Matthew White
Love life; life fearlessly.

Ps. We DO need change, but not external
change from the government or from other
people or from anything outside. The real
change we need is more people on this planet
being confident and vibrating at a higher
frequency. Go to http://www.instantconfidence.com
and discover the simple and practical ways
to be confident now.
