A lot of things come down to confidence.
In sports, you might have the skill set to be a great player, but you may lack confidence, resulting in never reaching your full potential.
The more confident I became in myself and my abilities, the better I performed in sports, leading to numerous accolades and accomplishments. However, it’s not just sports; it applies to anything you do.
You may have a great idea or things you’d like to pursue, which can lead to success and happiness, but lack the confidence to follow through and actually try.
The good thing is that everyone feels a lack of confidence at times. You can’t let that be the deciding factor for whether you do or don’t do something.
Confidence increases when you look at the objective facts: ‘I can do this,’ ‘I have learned this,’ ‘I have the skill set to do this.’ These facts become more objective when you practice a lot, leading to greater confidence.
Sometimes we can’t control how outside forces influence our confidence, but we can control our thoughts and attitude. So, step out of your comfort zone and follow through with something, even if your confidence isn’t fully there.
It will improve as you continue to take action. Don’t let a lack of confidence deceive you into thinking you aren’t capable of something that you are indeed capable of doing.
