Where do you think confidence comes from?
When you see someone with amazing confidence do you think it’s just a character trait they have or is something they learned?
These Motivational Monday posts are created with the intention to give you a burst of motivation at the beginning of each week so that you can go into the week full of confidence!
We tend to think that people like professional athletes, celebrities and people who have achieved success in their lives don’t go through the same stuff we do as they pursue their dreams.
Or at the very least, we think it doesn’t “feel” the same to them as it does to us. But the truth ism they do, and in many cases it’s much more intense because they have a lot more exposure.
There are couple differences that are very important to point out though.
1. In order to get to that level, it takes following a passion. That doesn’t always mean you love everything you do, but it means that everything you do leads you closer to something you love.
2. No matter what path you choose in life or what path chooses you, however you want to look at it, the most important thing you must do is “keep your eye on the prize” and realize that, the only way you’re going to get the prize is if the fight to get is is worth it… TO YOU!
It’s that passion and focus that gives successful people confidence and confidence is the key ingredient to any kind of success in life.
Seeing the athletes who have achieved great success in their sports and lives illustrate some of the adversity they faced and hearing them talk about some of the harsh perceptions people had about them shows you that even people you think have it “all figured out” don’t! And they need an abundance of confidence to get through that stuff just like the rest of us.
So back to the original question:
Where do you think confidence comes from?
Confidence comes from taking action fueled by passion that’s directed with focus…
