Confidence

“The only way to develop true confidence is to earn it.

• The confidence that you can bounce back from failure is earned by working through previous failures.
• The confidence that you can deliver the speech is earned by the previous speeches you have given.
• The confidence that you can perform on game day is earned by the previous performances in practice.

In the beginning, you need enough courage to practice even though it may not go very well. And over time, as your skills improve, courage transforms into confidence. Courage first, confidence later”
-James Clear

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
-Dale Carnegie

“The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.”
-William Jennings Bryan

“Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.”
-Peter T. McIntyre

By embracing new experiences, celebrating successes, adopting positive habits, and fostering a supportive network, you can actively build and grow your confidence exponentially over time. Self-confidence is a learned habit built on self-trust and the willingness to try, not a fixed trait. Building confidence involves preparation and persistence, facing fears by stepping out of your comfort zone, and surrounding yourself with supportive people.
