7 Clear Signs of True Inner Confidence
How many do you possess?
I used to believe that confidence was something simply bestowed on a lucky few upon birth. Some people just had it, while others were left wishing for it.
In my mind during this phase of life, I was always in the “other” category. The ones who were passed over in the genetic lottery when confidence was being distributed.
This, in itself, was a negative and inaccurate mindset around confidence that kept me stagnant for many years. I had simply accepted that I wasn’t one of the chosen ones who got to enjoy the boundless benefits of being secure in myself.
Notice this is all said in the past tense — because the day came that I learned just how wrong I was.
This is one of the reasons why I started coaching people over a decade ago. To help them escape the same negative cycle that leads to self-fulfilled prophecies of failure and regret.
Most of us are telling ourselves a story about why we can’t be confident, or, accepting external narratives from other people that make us doubt or limit ourselves.
The truth is that confidence is a mindset that we can choose. We can make the decision to evolve and progress.
