Ability to appreciate Nature

There's nothing quite like being deep in a forest, completely separated from the touch of humankind.

It provides an inexplicable sense of tranquil awareness.

The only sounds are those of your own footsteps, the wind, rustling trees and the movements of the creatures who call the wild home.

But the fact of the matter is that too many of us rarely get to experience this. More and more people, particularly Millennials, are moving into cities and away from nature.

Sure, some of these concrete jungles contain beautiful parks, but visiting them is not quite the same as becoming deeply immersed in the woods.

Indeed, we would all benefit a great deal if we made a more concerted effort to leave our urban dwellings and spend time in nature.

In fact, there is concrete evidence that people who appreciate nature, and make the effort to spend time in it, are happier, healthier and more creative.

Self Confidence

"The foundation of all great success and achievement"

The concept self-confidence as commonly used is self-assurance in one's personal judgment, ability, power, etc. One increases self-confidence from experiences of having mastered particular activities. It is a positive belief that in the future one can generally accomplish what one wishes to do. Self-confidence is not the same as self-esteem, which is an evaluation of one’s own worth, whereas self-confidence is more specifically trust in one’s ability to achieve some goal, which one meta-analysis suggested is similar to generalization of self-efficacy. Abraham Maslow and many others after him have emphasized the need to distinguish between self-confidence as a generalized personality characteristic, and self-confidence with respect to a specific task, ability or challenge.
