Joe Burrow said, "Confidence has preparation behind it. There's a lot of false confidence out there that I think you could describe as swagger. The reason that I'm so confident is I know the work that I put in."
It means resilience and hard work.
Confidence isn't about being perfect, it's the feeling that you are capable.
It's having the courage to try, learn, and grow from every experience.
You aren't born with confidence, you build it.
It’s through your actions, thoughts, and beliefs that you start to feel more confident.
Confidence is a journey of self-discovery and growth through challenges.
5 Ways To Build Your Confidence
1. Competence: Acquiring skills and expertise in a particular area provides a solid foundation and belief in your abilities. It leads you to feel capable and sure of yourself. As you become more skilled and knowledgeable, you naturally believe in your abilities. By improving with a growth mindset, you create a deep-rooted confidence in your abilities and feel you are capable.
2. Preparation: Preparation gives you a sense of readiness, ownership and control. Thorough preparation grants you ownership over your endeavors and control over your outcomes. It means you have done the work and dove into the details. The confidence derived from being well-prepared allows you to approach challenges with a calm assurance that you've done everything in your power to succeed.
3. Doing Tough Things: As you successfully overcome challenges and push beyond your comfort zone, you build resilience and self-belief. Stepping outside your comfort zone and facing challenges serve as a testament to that. Each time you face adversity head-on and bounce back, you build your confidence. You also build resilience and a track record of wins.
4. Facing Your Fears: Facing your fears gives you courage, self-assurance, and liberation. Gaining the courage to confront your fears is a transformative. It not only liberates you from self-doubt, but also empowers you to take on challenges without hesitation. This mindset makes ready to embrace new opportunities with unwavering confidence.
5. Security and Safety: Give yourself a place that makes you feel safe, comfortable, and where you belong. Creating a safe and nurturing environment for yourself is like tending to your own garden of confidence. When you feel secure and comfortable in your surroundings, you are more willing to take risks and face challenges head-on. This psychological safety provides you with the freedom to explore, the courage to confront obstacles, and the faith that you will be resilient and fine, regardless of the outcome.
