There is a difference between having assurances of who you are and our abilities and being vain.  Vain is defined as: having or showing an excessively high opinion of one's appearance, abilities, or worth.  A few weeks ago, I spoke at schools from my home town on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was an incredible experience.  During on of the sessions the teacher informed me that she would have to take out a portion of the class to study for an upcoming test.  I thanked her for letting me know and asked if she could give me five minutes because they've never heard anyone like me.  She didn't know how to receive what I said yet could tell I wasn't saying it with conceit. She let the students stay for five minutes and none of them wanted to leave.  It was a great time. 

You can be confident in your abilities and not be on the Vain Train.  It's an empowering feeling when you receive validation from yourself, God, and no one else. Combine that with the right level of preparation and you can confidently say, "they've never heard anyone like me." 

Don't believe you can do it? I do. I know you can do it!
