Confidence. Everyone talks about it and how important it is.
We’re told that confidence is the key to accomplishing incredible success, but how do we develop it?
I’ll give you the magic formula guaranteed to give you ROCK SOLID confidence. Here it is:
Go out and attempt INCREDIBLE things, fall down TRAGICALLY and fail EPICALLY. Afterwards, take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror.
Then, and only then, will you realize that “failing” isn’t as bad as you feared and that you’re not nearly as weak as you thought you were.
The reality is this: Pain and Discomfort are the best teachers and they don’t pull any punches when they are teaching these lessons of strength and resilience.
This is how you truly build confidence, in attempting over and over knowing that you are strong enough to get up and try again, that you are stronger than the outside forces around you.
It is the confidence you build from these experiences that will protect you in the future like armor.
Confidence is the armor that will protect you from the words of naysayers, the opinions of the critics, and all who wish failure on you.
And once you have this kind of confidence, you’re bulletproof.
Confidence is being aware of everything that’s being said all around you, still knowing you’ll be absolutely fine regardless of where the opinions of others fall.
So move forward confidently, there’s still much ahead of you to experience and accomplish.

5 年Good article. I would like as well to add two other strategies to improve self-confidence. The first one: practice and practice. The second one get a coach, be humble and accept positive criticism to improve.
