"We overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can do in a lifetime".. so deep and so true

As a single dad to a fourteen year old daughter, I want to thank you for your videos. You are the strong and POSITIVE female roll model that she always needed in her life. And she absolutely adores you. After years of emotional abuse from her mother, she is deeply wounded and sees you as a beacon of hope. I am here for her everyday with love, patience, and understanding. But you epitomize the woman she needed in her life rather than the one she had. Again, thank you. You mean a lot to my little girl. And she means everything to me.

From one who doesn't have confidence Confidence comes from being comfortable in your own skin. It comes when you 'can' smile like you do. Your smile comes from a place of self-acceptance, from a place of satisfaction of where you are right now, with the hope of where you'll be. Did you work for that smile? Or were you born with it? You smile with your eyes and I bet your heart too. ... Some tears later... Confidence comes when you just be instead of trying to be. Confidence comes when you accept yourself as you are.. as raw as you are. Confidence comes when you realise that one person accepts, acknowledges and appreciates your being. It is heaven if that is person is yourself. ... You're blessed more than you know and I hope you remember that when you're feeling low. Lots of Love) To you and The one who reads it.

I love the way you speak, its like you are talking to me privately just the 2 of us. So soothing..

When people compliment me, I usually respond by saying “Thank you for the encouragement!” It’s better than deflecting the praise, and it also acknowledges that I appreciate their words. :) Great video!

You could tell us something in dutch at the end of every video and put subtitles in english. That way you would practice and maybe some of your subscribers would learn a word or two in dutch.

1. Be Good at Something--> Confidence 2. Goals--> Chunk down into Steps 3. Realistically Challenging--> Flow State 4. Rewarding--> Look upto Achievements I learnt these from the video. :)

The fact that you smile a lot, makes you more adorable and make us feel the positive vibes you exude. Keep it up!

Dear Sadia, I don't often comment on anybody's video, but I need to express my gratitude. Thank you for giving me a life I've always wanted to live.

I had no confidence as a child, due to the people around me who made it a point to break my confidence. But I worked on myself and now I am confident and love my life. I think that family and friends can make or break your confidence. Thank you for the video.

I always wanna be a confident person. I can't even stand by group of people with confidence. Public gathering always makes me feel uncomfortable. Hope i will overcome it.

I think confidence is the byproduct of how much a person has worked on himself..... Although there are some exceptions

Ive missed you. Your voice is soothing and videos are uplifting :)

“The no.1 way to build confidence is to build competence meaning getting really good at something. And the only way of getting good at something is to put in the time; repetition, doing it over and over again and being really subbornly persistent.” YESSS! Thanks Sadia🙌🏼 Love thiiis.

Confidence and self-esteem are my goals for the future . i hope to improve my confidence and self-esteem I pray to God I will achieve my goals. Amen

I don't know why...But I cried watching this video as I realised that I underestimate myself for years, not knowing that I can be better by starting small. I've burden myself so many times by forcing myself to do things that I'm not good at & neglecting the areas where I'm really good at. Thank u Sadia for waking me up.🌹 Much love from Malaysia 💗💗💗

This popped up in my feed just when I needed it!

Actually we missed you. Especially your soothing voice.

One thing that works well for me in building up confidence, is to revisit previous projects/work I've done. It is so easy for us to constantly raise the bar for what is the standard, that we overlook how much we have grown. Revisiting old work helps realise, that what we can do today, we may only have dreamed about one year ago. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing these lovely videos.

Be Successful Get good in something Building confidence Celebrate achievements Accomplishments Accept praises

'We over-estimate what we can do in a day and under-estimate what we can do in a lifetime.' This went into my favourite quotes' list.

Agreed! I believe confidence is built through *_time, effort & experience_* Have a wonderful day everyone :)

Firstly you're beautiful, your dark hair and your smile is flattering. Secondly this was aesthetic Thirdly, QUALITY conteny

Pickup Limes has been such a source of inspiration and positivity for me since 2018. Her videos always seem to come at the right time, filling me with motivation and joy. She truly brings relatable content and adds so much value to life. Whenever I need a boost or feel like I'm lacking certain qualities, her channel is my go-to. Here's to the positive vibes she spreads! I'm usually more of a silent viewer, but I just had to express my appreciation this time. And here I am, finding myself back again on this video because I needed to re-boost my confidence.

We overestimate what we can do in a day..but underestimate what we can do in a lifetime! Well said..

Also your plants and vines in your studio look heavenly 🥰

I love when people can show their imperfections and make fun of them. No one is perfect. Doing this actually shows true confidence and makes you more "real" to your audiences. Really love your channel. :)

"Often, we overestimate what we can do in a day and we underestimate what we can do in a lifetime" Amazing line!

I missed you... You're a ray of light

You seem like an introvert but exceptionally articulate.. You speak on behalf of them ♥️

One of my professors says repetition is the mother of skill

It was so nice to see the bloopers, you look even more warm and approachable, knowing that you are not always 100% composed and calm, like you seem in the videos. You seem like an amazing human being.

„We overestimate what we can do in a day and we underestimate what we can do in a lifetime” - this is going to be my new favourite quote! ❤️🙏🏼

Missed these videos! So awesome as always 💓🦋

Missed you too Sadia! Thank you for the tea time ❤️❤️, competence builds confidence. So true! And accept credit without talking down on ourselves.

Watching this before my thesis presentation. This is just what I needed to make me feel better about it all! Thank you!

I went through a period at work where I was in a new position at the same company and I was the newest one on the team. Everyone was super nice but I just felt like I'd never be as good as those people, and they all must do the job so easily and I was surely the only one that was struggling. For reference, I work in software deployment for a multinational software company. I work with 6 or 7 clients at a time to set up their software, understand their business needs, etc. A few things that helped me to gain confidence: 1. As Sadia said, just practice helped immensely. Finding answers on my own instead of running to a teammate first gave me a sense of accomplishment. 2. Basically jumping off the deep end and realizing that hey, I'm likeable - my customers like me, and realizing they didn't expect me to have every answer to every off the wall question they had. Learning to be honest and say, "You know what? I'm not 100% sure, but let me research that and get back to you by tomorrow. 3. Honestly, hearing from the more tenured members of the team that they get nervous too. Knowing that I wasn't alone in my pre-meeting jitters, and that they go through the same struggles, helped me. 4. Finally, and probably the biggest one - soon, I wasn't the newest on the team anymore. And I was expected to help the newer team members. Helping to answer their questions and teaching them how to do things made me realize how much I DID know, taking away my usual focus on how much I still didn't know. Not sure if this will help anyone, but I'm happy to say I'm totally over it and feel very confident at work now. 😊 Great video as always.

The bloopers were so cute. I have missed these videos a lot.

It's soo cool you can be both very calm person with a soothing voice and a playful one who screams DAMN IT in the kitchen. Love you!

Thank you for teaching us how repetition and determination can help us in many areas of life. Self-confidence is so important to success, and becoming comfortable with ourselves is just one way we can live full out!

#PickupLimesSquad!!🙋🏾‍♀️❤ I need to work on my Self Confidence level that has been a Big Struggle for me for years. Thank you for this.

Love the phrase "confidence by building competence"! And that needs time and effort.

U remind me of how powerful one can be by simply being truthful/genuine.

I love your voice talking about building confidence in ourselves.

Hi Sadia 😊 I completely agree with this video. The two major points that I can connect are 1. Repeating the same thing again and again to gain confidence with it and 2. When someone accomplishes for something that have done I used to reply like you did earlier but now I started learning to accept it and started feeling more confident now. Also I request you to make a video to overcome Inferiority complex as many faces this issue in some point of time in their life.

I wish you’d put out a video everyday, that’s how much I love your channel 😂

I can totally relate to it and attest the fact that "To increase your confidence, you need to improve your competence". I had been struggling in my early months of my first job and with time as I improved my competence, I felt confident with what I do. Beautifully said, Love ❤️🤗

You’re one person whose video I watch from start to end without forwarding or exiting halfway through ♥️ much love! You’re my role model!

I’ve missed the Tea Time Chats!!!! Please keep sharing!!!! Also I would love to see a DITL/vlog!!!

Competence brings me confidence for sure 😉 Thanks for everything Sadia!

I love this message. It's good to see the behind the scenes and how you work your way to a perfect video. Often times we look at a finished product and how flawless it looks and beat ourselves down for not being as flawless and yet it's part of the journey. Thanks so much for sharing.

Love the warm and cozy vibe!

Love seeing your bloopers, Sadia.It makes me laugh and know that EVERYONE has those days/times when they aren't as put together as they'd like to be. That-in itself can make you more confident--getting over the obstacle!

I was eagerly waiting for one of thessseee. You are always so inspirational Sadia!

I love how comfortable you make the viewers feel. Seeing you smile, I just feel so positive and happy. I want to let you know that you're doing a great job! Keep going!

I really really love the tea time chats /advice / vlog videos besides the recipe ones. You're one of my role models

One thing I learned that made a huge difference. Try and enjoy the journey, savor it. There's absolutely no rush.

I've been learning Dutch this year as well since I've been planning to move to the Hague, I empathize on how difficult it is, but we'll get it!! Thanks for all your videos, your channel teaches me so much 💙

I love your personality and how easily you catch up whatever you want to speak and convey. I want to build confidence not only in public speaking but also in my studies as I want to improve my scores .

I love the way you gave a great smile while talking❤

OMG !! I missed your videos a LOT !! I’m so happy !

I really enjoyed your teatime Tuesday. Thanks! xxx

Confidence can be learned and that's so true! I find that keeping a journal of your progress and accomplishments helps motivate you daily. ❤️

You’re not just making videos on YT but you made a lot of inspiration to a lot of people all around the world. I just watched this and it's my first time seeing ur channel, I already a subscriber with no doubt.❤️☝🏻

Her voice makes me feel like I have my life together and what i am doing is right and I can Do IT. Thank you for it 💖

Yaaay!!💚💚 Tea time tuesday is back ☕🍃 Missed you and uplifting as always🍁

I loved this video and I love to see your growth from the beginning to where you are now. Thank you for these beautiful words!

Love love love this video. I definitely fall in the category of overestimating what I can do in a day and then feeling a drop in confidence when I can't get it all done. I think that list of accomplishments will definitely come in handy 😊

I feel so healthy and blessed watching this gorgeous angel talk. It’s like heaven on earth. I can just imagine what heaven what be like someday such a nice place.

your channel is one of my favs in u tube!whenever i need motivation i just search for u on u tube!u r such a inspiration ❤️❤️

The ability to speak in front of my cohort and not worry about being judged. To get through public speaking in school without having to feel so anxious; like I genuinely cannot breathe. And definitely, to be able to have a good conversation w/ anyone without it being awkward.

The way you talk is so calming

I really needed this, and I love tea time tuesdays, you're my favorite also loved the ending! Your channel really bloomed me into someone I really love. Thank you 🌟❤

I literally have a cup of coffee while I watched this one. Thanks for sharing.

She is so honest. I like her. I really like her vibe. ✨ ❤️

Oh my goodness! That’s my issue all the time 😆😆😆 your speech sounds so flow and calm 🥰 I would love to see these types of clips from you. You have a potential there❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

2:14 - 2:17 "damn it!" so cute! :) reminds me of someone I loved.

Please do these videos more! You're literally making me a better person and I learn so much from you. Please don't ever stop what you're doing- you honestly have a gift & you should continue to share it with the world. God bless you you're truly a ray of sunshine.

More videos like these please. You have a great way of explaining things.

Thank you for this video Sadia. Sometimes when I think on how to achieve something, it feel overwhelming but breaking it down is doable. Love your channel.

Omg your timing is perfect. I’ve been wanting to watch a video on confidence and your video is the perfect one. Love everything you mentioned. In fact it put me in a different mood altogether. Love you and keep making such amazing videos. Love all the way from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Hey, I would love to watch more of these teatime Tuesdays! Also more of recipe videos or travel vlogs! Really want to see you pop up in my feed as often as possible.

You are so positive and uplifting! I love your videos and I am so happy I've found this channel, beautiful

Your voice is so soothing and you seem so happy in your skin, that your videos are a daily must-see. Thank you ☺️

Exactly what I needed right now :) THANK YOU!🌻

I always get so excited when I see that you uploaded a new video 😍

I love listening you, watching your videos and just, “being with you”? It just make me relaxed, comfortable and calm. Thank you for everything you do ❤️

I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks back. I absolutely love your channel. It has kinda become a "comfort channel" Especially videos like this. And, I've never been good at having plants but your videos make me want to have a house full!! :)

I love the honesty, message, and delivery of all your content! 💛😊💖

The opposite of humility is not arrogance. It can be confidence and acceptance of our accomplishments. Brilliant stuff. Thank you for making this video. 🙏🏻

I honestly understand so much with learning a language! I was learning french and I was so upset that I couldn't speak it at all despite all my studying. I ended up going to a few language cafes to start practicising and the first individual I practiced with kept encouraging me to practice more. Thanks to him I've gotten a lot more fluent + confident in speaking french. Best of luck to you Sadia 😄
