Do you struggle with self-doubt, insecurity, or performance anxiety? Me too. And we're not alone. Everyone does, no matter how confident they appear to be, or how confident they actually are.
Here are some quotes on this subject that hopefully you will find inspiring:
"I still sometimes feel like a loser kid in high school and I just have to pick myself up and tell myself that I'm a superstar every morning so that I can get through this day and be for my fans what they need for me to be." - Lady Gaga
"I have written 11 books, but each time I think, 'uh oh, they're going to find out now. I've run a game on everybody, and they're going to find me out.'" - Maya Angelou
"No matter what we've done, there comes a point where you think, 'How did I get here? When are they going to discover that I am, in fact, a fraud and take everything away from me?'" - Tom Hanks
Self-doubt and insecurity are the human condition, folks. These people are wildly successful yet still plagued with confidence issues (and let that be a lesson to you...there is no "arriving". We are all works in progress.).
So how have these people done the amazing things they've done if they struggle with self-confidence? They know how to get confident. Otherwise, they would not have been able to produce the hit movies, songs, and books.
They know that you can choose confidence. And you will RISE to to level of that confidence. This is an extremely important concept, so let me repeat it again. You can CHOOSE confidence, and you will RISE to the level of that confidence.
Start today. Ask Siri or Alexa to remind you each morning that "confidence is a choice". Meditate on what that looks like for you. Visualize yourself being confident in very specific scenarios. Your mind will go to work to get you to that place if you practice it each day.
Why is this important for me? Most people count themselves out because they think they aren't confident enough, are plagued by performance anxiety, or believe they are too insecure to do what successful people do. It is true that God-given abilities vary, but your ability to be confident is a choice you have control over. Chances are you know what your talents are; now put the practice of choosing confidence behind those talents. You will be unstoppable.

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we might oft win by fearing to attempt.” – William Shakespeare
