Confidence is they assurance that you can handle whatever life throws your way . A person with confidence can walk into a room and command attention without uttering a single word. In light of starting new relationships and employment opportunities, confidence is a key ingredient to gaining a definitive edge over possible competition. 

Unfortunately, confidence is merely a character trait based on knowledge. While it is beneficial to have confidence in ones abilities, skills, and value, it is not beneficial to depend solely on ones own attributes to give them an edge. This is where faith comes in.

Faith is the confidence that extends beyond oneself. The belief that every step one takes towards a goal is the accumulative result of everything that has ever happened is needed in order to provide that winning edge. This is what separates happy successful people from people who can't seem to accomplish anything.

People who are confident in their ability to reach personal goals can be easily discouraged in the case of unexpected schedule changes, unplanned detours, and other unforeseen circumstances. Faith is the invisible armor that shields one from being swayed by external forces.

Despite circumstances, those that live by confidence and faith have the courage to move forward.

Faith is the element that completes a well formulated course of action, it's the glue that holds a person together through varying circumstances, and it houses the God-Factor that is essentially the difference between a mediocre existence and a passion filled life
