Im very stressed for this week and it is only monday! Ive driver's test nex week.This week ive tennis competition for which im not prepared. Besides training and driving's lesson, i have to keep up chores as my mother is not around now and my homework. For tennis, i will manage. Honestly, i dont see a chance of winning but im gona do my best. Im particularly nervous about my driving skills since ive failed the first time. How can i take everythin (esp. my driving skills) easy besides praying to God? I dont really have enough traffic insight, so i often panic and react slow in traffic. How can i keep up? Driving is probably my weakest skill. Readers, please pray for me. I desperately need your word of encouragement. How can i just chill? Everything has been knocking my confidence down and i havent much of it too.

Someday you will look back at this situation and smile, and know that it wasn't that hard after all! Just like your Tennis, driving takes practice for some, and some people just are naturals at it.
You will acheive your goals, because you are concerned you won't, so you have courage to face the hard parts in your life! Good Luck! And keep reaching for your goals!

You have such a great outlook on your tennis competition, why don't you apply it to the driving challenge as well?
I didn't get my first driver's license until I was 32. Had gotten as far as the passing the written exam a few times, but when it came down to the driving part, I just didn't feel ready. Once I DID feel ready, I did fine.
Contrary to popular opinion, not everybody feels ready to do things at the same time.
Allow yourself permission to just keep at it until get it right.
It sounds to me like you've got an awful lot on your plare right now, so perhaps you could take a step back on this driving thing until you feel you've gotten in enough practice to ace it when the time comes?
If you're determined to do this right now, tell yourself a few things beforehand.
"Here's the world's greatest driver early in her/his career!"
"Driving is freedom!"
Lastly, tell yourself that just like with your tennis, all you have to do is your best.
There will be plenty of opportunities to drive in the future. This is not an all or nothing scenario at all.

Words of encouragement from other people are fine but confidence is a gift you give to yourself.I know you will be ok and I will pray for you. Now it is your turn, Face this week with confidence, do your best and what ever happens refuse to get down.After all, having confidence isn't about winning all the time , it is about believing in yourself espescially when times are tough. GOOD LUCK.

You'll be fine! I, for one, have the utmost confidence in you. Attack these things one at a time. Don't sweat the driving yet, in fact, forget it for now. Go out there and kick a couple of a**es at tennis first! We'll worry about driving next week. Email me after your matches, and don't forget, I'm with you 100%!!!
