Chris Widener - Success and Leadership Quote for July 6/20

Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a result of something… hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
~Roger Staubach

Many people who I work with lack basic confidence and seem to be seeking from me or from others, some sort of magical formula that will transform their thoughts so they are instantly confident. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen. Fortunately, there is a way that you can heighten your confidence level quite a bit, if not to astronomical heights: hard work. Dedication and hard work produce in us a number of things that allow us to be more self-confident. Number one, it improves our skill level. Number two, it gives us an awareness of all of the things that may come into play in that given situation or circumstance. Thus we eliminate the unknown, which is often a source of our lack of confidence. One gentleman I work with recently called me to ask to get together to do some role playing in an area he wants to grow his confidence level. This is the right track!

Action Point: What is an area of you life that you lack confidence in and you know that you need to grow in it? Now, take some time today to develop a plan wherein you can commit yourself to hard work and practice in that area. Take at least one action today to start you in the right direction. Over time, you will see your confidence rise!
