Sometime last year, when I was having a less than perfect day, I heard someone say, “Before you can take action, you must be confident, and before you can gain confidence, you must have clarity as to your goal or mission”. Unfortunately, I am not sure who I heard say this! (please comment if you know!). I was moved enough to write this on a sticky note and stick it to my bulletin board: There it is, for me to see every day: Clarity>Confidence>Action. It is positioned just above my line of sight, over my laptop screen. It is there to remind every day to get very, very clear on what I am trying to accomplish before I try to take action.
As I think this through more and more each week, I realize that many of my confidence problems that I still experience every day (but not nearly often as I used to), are purely a result of not yet having clarity on what I really want to achieve. I find myself sometimes paralyzed (figuaratively, not literally) and failing to move forward (the action part) as a result. What about you?
My suggestion is to spend your quiet time (set aside time for this!!) and get very clear on what you want to acheive, then after doing that, I think the confidence you need to move forward will manifest itself! Be sure to let me know if this works for you!
