| In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time. | | Moving from Self Doubt to Self Confidence It would be nice if moving from self doubt to self confidence just came naturally. However, moving from self doubt to self confidence is a practice you can adopt, with practice. When you are able to identify where your insecurities lie and what is stopping you from feeling confident, you can then start the process of moving from self doubt to self confidence. You will be able to work on eliminating the blocks that are keeping you from moving through life with assuredness. Here are some of the culprits for the patterns of self doubt and ideas for what you can do about them. | | Why confidence and knowledge can lead to smart money decisions Two common areas that cause people to procrastinate financially are knowledge and confidence. Logically, we know that financial literacy can boost our confidence to make informed money-management decisions. Yet, many people tell me that they lack the confidence to learn and absorb that financial knowledge, which holds them back. However, everybody is capable of effectively managing their money. While some need mindset adjustments, others need a confidence boost or a little reassurance that they are on the right track. Take small steps, follow and when doubt starts to creep in, remind yourself that money is only a tool and you are learning. | | 9 Habits That Are Destroying Your Confidence  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

Her relentless effort and “always there” service has really made and earned her what she is today.

She is the best ! I am glad to journey with her since the day she joined AIA in 1998 She had taken care of my financial portfolios from hospitalization coverage to wealth accumulation for retirement planning.
Think of insurance, Think of Iris 😀 | |  | | Jormay, Scientist , Taiwan University I was actually transferred to Iris because the original agent had resigned from AIA. Iris still maintains good service even though I have not actually given her any business. My case is sometimes inconvenient for Iris because I relocated many times to different countries, i.e. Malaysia, United States, and Taiwan. Recently, I wanted to set up the online APPs to access my account. However, I only passed by Singapore and we need to settle everything during my stay in Singapore, Iris worked patiently with me for a few hours, including driving me to the customer service center and help me asking questions and dealing with all the forms. Thank you Iris for being an angel. | |  | | Sabrina. Administrator of Zheng Fa Trading Pte Ltd Iris has been very helpful in helping me understand what plans are most suitable for me.
