Letter #1 — Positive Self-Talk for Kids: The Hidden Key to Confidence & Growth

Dear children.

There’s something so important that I want you to learn early — something that will shape your whole life.

– It’s the way you speak to yourself. –

You know that little voice in your head that only you can hear. Well it can become your greatest power or your biggest weakness.

We all talk to ourselves, whether we realise it or not and its that voice that tells you things like:
“I can’t do this.”
or
“I’m smart — I’ve got this.”

But here’s the truth: the words you say to yourself are more powerful than the words anyone else says about you.

In school, in friendships and especially in the business world, you’ll meet people who will try to make you feel small. They will sometimes tease you because they’re unsure of themselves and that’s not because there’s anything wrong with you.

It’s usually because they’re insecure about themselves, or maybe they are trying to compete against you. Or they don’t even mean to be mean.

But if you start believing their words, you’ll begin shrinking without even realising it.

That’s why your inner voice must be stronger than their outside noise.

You can’t control what other people say BUT you can control what you repeat to yourself. If someone says,

“You’re not good enough,”
but your inner voice answers,
“Yes I am — I’m learning and growing every day,”
then their words won’t stick.

That’s real strength. That’s how people become fearless, confident, and kind.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of doubt and to let fear creep in and hold you back but you don’t have to. Every time you say something kind to yourself, you’re building strength. You’re training your brain to believe in you, even when the world doesn’t.

You’ve heard this before:

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
That’s not just a rhyme. It’s a superpower.
Words only hurt if you let them.
If someone tries to put you down – well guess what? They can’t, because you’ve already lifted yourself up.
You’ve already told yourself:
“I’m great. I’m learning. I matter.”

When You’re a Teen or Young Adult…

In business, the world can be competitive, sharp, and often cold. People will doubt you. Some will try to sell you fear. Some will try to make you question your worth. But the people who succeed — the ones who grow, lead, and make a difference, are the ones who don’t let those words in.

This concept is simply known as resilience — the ability to hear something negative and choose not to absorb it. To reframe it and to keep going.

This inner strength starts now, with what you tell yourself each day. It’s not about pretending you’re perfect, it’s about reminding yourself that you’re growing and that growth makes you powerful.

We need strong people in this world. The fearless, confident, kind of people.
You can be one of them and you WILL be one of them, as long as the voice inside your head is cheering you on.

Try this exercise:

1. 
   

   Every morning, stand in front of the mirror and say three good things about yourself.
   “I’m brave.” “I’m clever.” “I’m kind.”

   
   
2. 
   

   When you make a mistake, replace “I’m rubbish at this” with:
   “That’s okay. I’m learning. I’ll get better.”

   
   
3. 
   

   When someone says something unkind, repeat this in your mind:
   “Their words don’t decide who I am. I’ve already told myself I’m great.”

   
   

Do this every day. Not just once. Not just when you feel sad. Do it every single day, because that’s how confidence grows. That’s how leaders are made and that’s how you become one of the strongest people in society — not because you shout the loudest, but because you believe in yourself the most.

So now that you know what to do — go apply it.

You’ll learn faster, grow stronger, and feel prouder every time you practise.
