One of the best ways to build confidence, self-esteem and overcome anxiety is to just do it. You're caught in a vicious circle and the only way to break free is to do what you're afraid of.

Just like every other kind of emotion anxiety has a purpose. It's purpose is to warn you of a possible danger and to help you prepare for it. It's designed to elicit your in built fight or flight response so that you're prepared if the danger comes to pass.

Don't just sit there feeling sorry for yourself, use what you already have and start living the life you desire.

Happiness doesn't just happen. You have to make it happen. If you're waiting around for it to come to you, expecting someone to bring it with them or waiting for something to happen before you can be happy you'll be waiting for a long while.
