Pit Senyor to all the Cebuano Steemians and a good day/evening to the rest of the world! As promised, I will be announcing the winners of the first challenge of The Confidence Project Takeaway 1! This challenge's reward pool is a whooping 20 SBD, thanks to the supporters of the first takeaway and, of course, to @ybanezkim26.

Without further ado, here are the confident people who bravely took the first step towards building their confidence:

@everchris

As I mentioned in the The Confidence Project Takeaway 1 Progress post, @everchris recognized that confidence plays a huge role in our lives. The area that he wishes to focus on - his 'view of himself' - struck a chord with me. I personally think that we can all relate to his battle with negative thoughts, too. Allow me to share with you the three steps that he would like to take in order to build his confidence in this particular area:

@josejirafa

Among all the senders, this guy's three action items are among the clearest and most doable. I personally think that this guy's mind is as brilliant as his thought-provoking posts. We had a hard time deliberating about his place in our rankings, but we had to decide. We have no doubt that we will be seeing you in our top 3 next time, @josejirafa. We're looking forward to your entry next month!

Among all of the entry-senders, this guy's entry was the most well-received by his followers. We are so excited to hear about your progress in the next takeaway, @brokemancode! I hope that you will achieve everything that you'd set your mind to do. Have a look at his action items, here:

@namranna

Her entry taught us that embracing one's own self isn't as easy as some people would make it appear to be. We are in full support of this girl's journey towards achieving her area of focus and we can't wait to see how far she'll go. Props to you, girl! Here are her action items:

@nikkabomb

This challenge's winner is @nikkabomb! She'd identified the most number of areas of focus, included 3-4 action items each, all the while sticking to the acronym of confidence. Plus points for your creativity! We sincerely hope that you'll not get too overwhelmed with the action items that you have to keep up with. We're looking forward to hearing your progress, girl!

On behalf of The Confidence Project's team, congratulations to you all!

I'm going to say something generic, so please if you're allergic, cover your eyes! Hahaha! It was really hard for us to decide the winners. We each had our own perspectives about who should get the top place. We can tell that everyone poured themselves into their posts by admitting which areas they truly needed to focus on. The team couldn't thank you all enough. In the meantime, we hope you enjoyed your rewards. But we hope that you'll not lose sight of what is important - building your confidence in the area that matter to you the most.

Don't forget to follow @jsmalila. He will host next month's takeaway.

Bizou bizou,
