I was working with a client last week when she dropped this bombshell!
“I’m not a confident person!”
I knew THAT WAS A LIE!
Let me spill the beans about this client.
She just quit her job to dive into a new opportunity with many unknowns, which is like a fearless adventurer, creating her own path in the way she wants!
She’s in the middle of taking a big step to move into a new home, with her boyfriend. Sharing closet space and compromising on TV control, now that’s confidence!
I know she’s a confident person because, without confidence, we don’t make choices to get a new job, start something different, move into a new home, and commit deeper to a relationship.
Here’s the mistake!
We often mistake feeling confident for being confident.
We envision confident people as these awe-inspiring superheroes, radiating awesomeness and bravery wherever they go.
But guess what?
Feeling confident isn’t always a walk in the park.
Being confident doesn’t always feel amazing!
In reality, feeling confident can be downright terrifying!
Despite all the scary stuff, confident people push through and take action anyway.
So, here’s a little experiment for you.
Take a peek at your past year’s achievements. I bet you’ll uncover someone who takes action and keeps going even when you might feel like a bundle of nerves while doing it.
