“Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Self-confidence is the most attractive quality a person can have. Just think about it, how can anyone see how great you are if you can’t see it yourself? Don’t live down to expectations, go out there and do something remarkable.
Think about what you can invest your time and energy into.
Thinking is a process where you generate different ideas. To think better, you need to ask better questions. Questions like:
• What can I do to improve my current situation? Write down different ideas that come to mind without qualifying them.
• How can this idea help me improve my situation? Be specific.
• What skills do I need to make it happen? Write them down.
You need to be in a quiet place that will allow you to think and write your answers down on your ‘thinking notebook’ where you capture all your important ideas.
Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So, what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
Decide from the list of generated ideas above and choose one.
Decision-making is very critical. Whatever option you choose, stick to it until the end. The mantra/affirmation I use especially when I start a new project/goal is, “Whatever I start, I finish.” I say these words repeatedly, especially when doubt creeps in.
Have confidence that if you have done a little thing well, you can do a bigger thing well too. I wish you well.
