Morning Motivator – The Confidence in Yourself

"Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong."
- Peter T. Mcintyre 

Who do you KNOW that can do things better than anyone else?  Who do you have TOTAL belief that they are able to accomplish exactly what you are seeking to achieve?  Who is able to help you ATTAIN the dreams and goals you seek to passionately?  For me - it is ME! 

CONFIDENCE is a very interesting psychological element.  It is not derived from emotion, education, size, speed or intelligence.  It is purely a "BELIEF" with little to no foundation for its existence.  What makes someone confident they can close the deal?  The fact they did it once before?  The fact the client likes them?  Or is it something inside that just says – YES, this CAN be done!?  (Remember that every occasion is new and unique, so past experience is not necessarily an indicator of guarantees for the future.) 

As I have read books about TOP ACHIEVERS and associated with successful people, I have discovered that CONFIDENCE is a CHOICE.  YES – A CHOICE!  People CHOOSE to succeed and the subsequent focus that results from this choice creates a foundation of belief that provides the blind motivation to move forward in spite of fear or apprehension.  If you accept this as a relative truth, then confidence is just the CHOICE to eliminate FEAR from your emotional options.  Pretty simple, eh? 

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:

Consider this:  Have you heard the phrase, "fake it 'till you make it"?  Sounds silly huh?  It is until you recognize that this is a TACTIC for creating confidence in the face of fear. 

By possessing a mind set of success and accomplishment, you create the ENVIRONMENT for success.  Even if you are faking the "lack of fear," you ARE creating a temporary state of confidence that, with some small indication of success during this temporary time frame, can easily turn into REAL confidence! 

Now, who do you think can BEST help you attain your goals?  The answer is YOU… even if you don't believe it yet.  Here's a tip:  Just act like the way you want to be and you soon will be that way!!  All success starts with a PURE belief in self. 

Cheers,
Zach
