Why A Lack of Confidence Stops you From Achieving Greatness and How to Change it

Doubt.

We thrive when we know we are good at something, when it has been reaffirmed in our minds over years, where we have been conditioned to believe our own competency.

Having excelled at something over a prolonged period of time our confidence coalesces with our vision of self, meaning we view ourselves and the things we are doing as a whole, it is indicative of who we are.

When we are young we will try anything; food, activities, sports, languages, etc. anything that catches our eye we want to experience. We are oblivious, or choose to ignore the impression others have of our capabilities, we just want to do something that looks fun and what might make us happy.

On holiday at playgroup we willingly make friends with children who we have a common bond regardless of whether we share a language or not. We are confident in who we are and allow others to see and experience our idiosyncrasies.

Our confidence is grown organically through doing, each moment increasing our desire to continue due to the enjoyment we are experiencing. You don’t even have to be good at it, if it is something you love your confidence swells anyway, happiness trumps everything and confidence is visible for all to see.
