You don’t need confidence

Just a reminder that you DON’T need confidence to do the thing. 

Confidence in doing a specific thing comes AFTER you have done it many times. 

When your brain will happily send you thoughts like:

• I know exactly what to do.
• I know the answer.

If you’re doing something new or challenging or uncertain, the truth is, you DON’T know exactly what to do. You DON’T know the answer. The outcome IS uncertain. 

So how do we do those new and uncertain things? 

The same way you’ve done ANYTHING new or challenging in your life. 

You use courage, or determination, or commitment, or ambition or enthusiasm or curiosity or grit or aspiration or excitement … to name a few. 

All of those emotions will get the job done. 

Confidence is not necessary. 

Do NOT let it stop you from taking action.
