Where does confidence come from? Is it something that comes natural and you are just born with or can we actually build confidence in time? Yes, some people just seem to have it. But as someone who had it, lost it entirely, and had to build it all back from scratch, I'm going to point out that you can do some pretty amazing things with building some iron faith in your life.
It might be that you have none in your life at the moment, or perhaps you just want some more because you know how much it would assist you with making choices. But really, where does this sustainable confidence come from? There are these little things I really like to call momentum builders that help you create confidence over time. Confidence, and the development of enduring confidence comes from the act of sweating the details, the tiny stuff, the things that most people often overlook. Why are these momentum builders important? Because when you can nail the tiny details down, and truly knock those out of the park day in and day out, you build yourself some forward movement. You essentially get yourself out of the mud and heading in a direction. Often, going in any direction is better than not moving at all. You actually begin to say, "Okay, I was capable of doing these things and brought these good habits into my life..what else am I truly capable of?" Now you are entering into a place of true magic. You see, when you actually nail the small stuff, the bigger things get more possible. It's when we try to go for the large goal without having the integrity of targeting the little things that actually set us up for failure.
So sweat the little stuff. Really spend a little bit of time to deeply focus on the feasible measure of your life, and over longer bouts of time start going for bigger and bigger goals. What if you fail? Take a gentle step back down and refocus on what you can accomplish, and try and try again. This is a pretty simple path to success. In fact, the quantum leap is precisely what you should not be focusing on.
Lots of folks get discouraged when they try something large in life and fail. In fact , most folks will try something 3 times and then give up completely. But if you build some serious momentum, you will have the confidence to try something over and over until you get it right.
Isn't that a far better way to live life?
Build some significant momentum behind you and you are incredibly capable of wonderful things.
But first, you have to sweat the really small stuff.
