Confidence is not something you can fake. You can’t talk yourself into being more confident. There are no magical mind games that exist to help you become more confident.
Competence, like a plant, must be grown. You grow your confidence by becoming better at what you do. Getting better means investing in yourself, study, practice, taking action, learning from failure, learning from mistakes, expanding your comfort zone.
In short, you boost confidence by becoming more competent at what you do.
Competent people are confident people.
Those who exceed competence, rising to the level of expert or virtuoso, are among the most confident people you will meet. They are extremely confident because they know they are among the best at what they do.
So, if you want to grow your confidence, you must grow your competence.
