Despite my first misgivings about my cookie switch-a-roo, I have to admit that there was beauty in that statement that lay inside. On that small, rectangular sheet of white paper were three words. Confidence Begets Confidence. I was disappointed by the fact that I really had no deep interpretations for that small yet powerful statement, but that disappointment led me to do some sleuthing.
By definition, Confidence is belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance. Beget is defined as to cause; produce as an effect. I officially had the pieces, but what was I to do with them? Put my hair up in a messy bun, throw on my cheetah print glasses, and get to thinking!
With my trusty definitions in hand, I put the pieces of my statement cookie wisdom back together. My result was simple. Confidence is the building blocks of, well, more confidence. You cannot hope to gain confidence if you do not posses at least some belief that you can attain it. You cannot climb a mountain with out beginning the climb. In that same way, you can not build a house without a foundation. To be CONFIDENT, you must have certainty in yourself!
With knowledge like this baked in golden goodness, I guess when it comes to a statement cookie you cannot go wrong. :)
