The Confidence Series Day 4: Stop Looking for the Perfect Opportunity
Say What? You mean GIVE UP?
No...
Look at what is in front of you. What idea have you started and not finished? What was the story you kept telling yourself as to why you did not follow through?
I am bored
This is not fun.
I don't know how.
That is what you need to return to. You and only you are sabotaging yourself. You are the only one giving up. You are the the only one that thinks you can't do it.
Waiting for the perfect opportunity is an AKA for
"I am scared"
Let's prove to yourself that you can do it.
Revisit an incomplete project, what was the story you told yourself when you did not see it through til the end?
Let's build up the confidence muscle by doing it, sound good? So here is what you need to do to get ready:
Build your Confidence Muscle - just like an athlete by training the mind:
Preparation builds confidence
Mental tools reinforce confidence
Adversity ingrains confidence (which way will you feel stronger if everything was easy or if you overcome and succeed)
Support increases confidence
Validate your confidence through successful outcomes
Ok, now you have the tools to get this baby in motion.
Before diving in, ask yourself this:
1. What is the result of following through?
2. What is the ideal outcome?
3. How will it impact your life by completing it?
4. What is possible from here?
5. How will you make it happen?
Share your thoughts and questions below, and let's put it into action!
