Confidence Is Like The Wind

Confidence. It's a word that gets thrown around a lot, as if it's some magical quality that only a select few possess. But let's get real for a moment. Confidence is not a fixed state of being. It's not something you either have or you don't. It's not a secret society that you can only join if you go through some secret ritual.

In my experience, confidence is a fickle thing.

It comes and goes like the wind. One moment, you feel like you can conquer the world, and the next, you feel like a complete mess. And that's okay.

Here's the thing: we don't actually need confidence to do the things we want to do. We don't need it to try something new, to project a certain image, or to advance in our careers. We simply need to make a decision. We decide that we're going to try some stuff, see where it takes us, and take action.

Confidence is not a prerequisite for success. It's not a magic pill that will make everything fall into place.

It's a mindset, a choice that we can make regardless of whether we "think" we're confident or not.

So let's stop putting so much pressure on ourselves to be confident all the time. Let's embrace the fluidity of confidence and recognize that it's okay to have moments of doubt. Let's focus on taking action, trying new things, and learning from our experiences. Because in the end, it's not confidence that defines us, but our willingness to step out of our comfort zones and take a leap of faith.

So go ahead, make that decision. Choose to try, to grow, and to embrace the unknown.

Confidence may come and go, but your determination and resilience will always be there to guide you.
