Walking down Nicollet Mall, it seems easy to spot the most successful among us: shined shoes, straight backs, massive smiles, blue tooth hooked up and arms swinging: confidence practically pours out of some people. Or does it? Confidence is not something we are born with. It has to be cultivated and constantly recharged. So what do these mall walkers have that everyone else is missing? Nothing, really, except an upbeat attitude and an inner voice that constantly says, “You can.”
