Confidence
Written by cbte on April 20th, 2010
My confidence level is one of the biggest determining factors of how well my day will go. If I don’t feel like I’m going to succeed at something, I usually don’t. If I’m feeling extremely confident about it, the outcome no longer matters as much – but I usually succeed, to boot. Here’s the deal.
Our brains don’t know the difference between reality and our vivid imagination. The only reason you perceive the things you encounter as “reality” is because you assign a definition of reality to those things. If you focus long enough on the things you want to achieve – and even vividly imagine already achieving them – you will. You can’t just do this once, though. You have to do it every day, multiple times a day, all day.
I have realized that in the past, I felt I lacked the confidence necessary to achieve my serious goals. It turns out I didn’t lack any confidence at all – it has been within me my entire life. I just haven’t allowed it to surface. It takes a serious breakthrough to realize this, but it is possible – so don’t give up!
Today I decided to go through the entire day with a purpose! With every step I took, every thing I said, and every facial expression I made, I exuded my confidence. Did I know what I was doing? Maybe not! But that doesn’t matter! Someone awesome once told me, “Nobody knows what they are doing!” This is 100% true. Since nobody knows, why not act like you do!
If you go throughout life questioning yourself, you’ll never be great. The moment you accept who you are and show your colors with pride, the real magic will start to happen. I’ve been feeling it for a few weeks now, and it’s really starting to shine now. And guess what? This is only the beginning. Don’t wait another second. Be you right now, and do it with confidence!
