Confidence before God and Men

Confidence is something I've been struggling with lately. I noticed I"m not terrifically confident around young women, especially pretty ones. As someone who would rather marry a young woman he thinks is pretty, this is troublesome.

I also noticed that at work, I tend to be marvelously happy. I feel fulfilled, confident, and valuable. Why is this?

I read a talk about confidence today, from Elder Jorg Klebingatt. He advocates six steps for increased confidence before God.

I would like to share six practical suggestions that, if heeded, will dissipate these evil voices and restore to you the kind of peaceful assurance and spiritual confidence that is yours to have if you only want it.

1. Take responsibility for your own spiritual well-being. 
2. Take responsibility for your own physical well-being, including both exercise, sleep, and diet. 
3. Embrace wholehearted, voluntary obedience. 
4. Become really, really good at repenting.
5. Become really, really good at forgiving. (Including dad) 
6. Embrace trials as opportunities, not punishments.

I do all of these things at work! I always pray and make sure I ask for help. I get enough sleep, food and water when I come. I am obedient. I repent, because I know I need the help. I forgive when people are cross, because I want them to like me. And etc.

Also, I thought of another way to be confident with young women. I'm going to be a great husband and a great father! I am easy-going, supportive, loving, hard-working, polite, and kind. THEY'RE getting a good deal.  :)
