Why Confidence Is Crucial For Success And How To Use It

Written By Leon Ho

If I wasn't confident in my abilities, I wouldn't be where I am.

Why?

Well, it's quite simple.

Without confidence, I wouldn't take my shots in life.

I wouldn't quit my job and focus on Lifehack.

I wouldn't meet my wife.

In other words, I would miss all the opportunities that led me to become what I am.

And that's true for everyone.

No matter how smart, talented, or hard-working someone is, they're not likely to be successful if they're not confident as well.

But we all seem to forget that.

There are no lectures about confidence in our schools.

Many of us think you have to be born with it.

But it's simply not true.

Confidence can be learned and developed.

And considering how important confidence can be, I believe everyone should try to become more confident.

You see, I wasn't born confident.

Quite contrary.

In elementary school, I was shy...

Reserved...

Timid...

And I didn't become confident overnight.

It took me a couple of years to really start believing in myself.

So, how did I get there?

Apart from the encouragement I've got from my friends and family, there's only one thing that had a great impact.

And that is...

I was able to achieve my goals and keep the promises I gave to myself.

Every goal I've achieved was a boost to my confidence.

As well as every promise I've kept.

If you want to develop confidence and take your chances, I suggest you start taking action today.

You don't have to aim high from the start.

You can start small.

After you stack up some wins, you'll be able to aim higher...

And higher...

Until you reach the biggest goal you have (the one that seems out of reach right now.)

However, I know that the first step is often the most difficult.

No matter how small it is.
