What is confidence? When you think about it, "confidence" is not really an action but more something you have once you have other skills like competence, acceptance, resilience, and courage firmly developed.
People say that they need to be 'more confident'. How much more confident? How do you know when you're confident enough? What does 'being more confident' look like, sound like, feel like? Is it really 'more confidence' that you need, or is that just what you perceive as lacking?
Confident people don't sit around thinking about how confident they are. They just do it. They still make mistakes. They still learn. They still step outside of the comfort zone and scare the s**t out of themselves. They still feel that fear and do it anyway. Confidence is the reward that comes from having the courage to step outside the comfort zone often and to embrace whatever there is to learn.
Step outside the comfort zone repeatedly over time and discover that the boundaries continue to shift more and more. What scared you yesterday becomes easy today. Practice makes perfect.
Sure, you can stay small and not do anything for fear of getting it wrong. Stay small and then you'll never have to sit with the feeling of not knowing enough or not being good enough. Or you can chase what it is that truly excites you and brings you life to LIFE! The choice is yours. Don't chase confidence, just do it.
