Do you see the similarities between what all of these successful people are telling you? Being confident is not something you find — it’s not something you’re granted. Feeling confident and motivated is something you give to yourself.
If you tell yourself you probably won’t be able to do something, then you sure as hell won’t — because you’ll probably talk yourself out of ever trying! By trying to pre-plan everything and prepare for every obstacle, you’re just setting yourself up to avoid obstacles.
Don’t forget: obstacles and challenges are what make you grow!
Embrace the fact that you won’t always know what you’re doing, and try anyway! Most of us today are just winging it and trying to get better along the way. Stop overcomplicating everything you do and just do it instead. When you become good at something, own it!
That, my friends, is how you become more confident.
Now get back to it! You’ve got this. You always have.
