D. Values Integration. Discipline and Character - In real life, confidence statements are
important. They influence decisions to be made. Knowing that our life is a result of our
choices, let us always make decisions that prioritize our inner peace by asking ourselves
this question: Will it bring me happiness? Be confident decision maker, because at the end
of the day, as Mark Twain said, “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”
