How to Build Self Confidence Little By Little

Everyone has the ability to be confident

Where does confidence come from? Most people would say it comes naturally but it comes from experience. Experience helps you learn so much about the world and about yourself in so many ways. The more obstacles you go through and overcome the more confidence you begin to have in yourself.

Being confident doesn’t mean that you’re good at all things or that you can handle any conflict with no worry, it means knowing what your good and not good at. In some circumstances, you will be more confident than in others.

For example, if you’re someone who is really good at writing small essays then you may be confident enough to start your own blog, but if you were asked to write a book, you may be a little intimidated. The only way to build confidence in yourself and in different areas of your life is to go through those difficult situations.

You won’t be confident enough to write a book until you go through the whole process of writing and publishing. Once you do that once, then you won’t be as scared to put out a second book because your more familiar with the process and what it takes to write a book.

Not everyone is born with confidence, for most, it takes time to develop the trait. Once you do have confidence, it’s hard to explain where it comes from or giving someone the exact blueprint for how you got it.

Look at many famous athletes, Lebron James is considered to be if not the best basketball player of all time. Yes, he was gifted with a natural talent for the game and the height for it but he still had to go through obstacles in order to be as confident as he is on the court now.

He had to go against different competition every week in high school to solidify his name and he had to keep pushing. His confidence came over time, his skill level is the same as well, again he is naturally athletic but he had to put his body through different workouts to become more comfortable with his skill set. Building self-confidence takes work and time, even if you were born with it.
