How to Get Confidence _Ask Mary Morrissey - By: marymorressey

What is confidence and how someone develop confidence?” This is an important question because, confidence is the grounds upon which we are willing to make decisions or not.

Now when you were a little kid and you saw other people walking around on their hind legs, you saw them doing something you might want to do but you didn’t know how to do. And then perhaps you were in an environment where someone encouraged to take those first faltering steps, and as you took those steps you fell down but you got back up again. And you did that over and over again until you built both the leg muscle strength, the coordination, the motor skills and frankly the confidence to keep repeating something in the absence of being sure you could do it. You kept repeating it anyway, believing in those other people’s belief that you really could do that. And as you developed that yourself, you could offer it to somebody else.

When you switch on the light (you know) on your wall the very first time, unless you would have seen somebody do it or somebody taught you what it could be (when you flipped that switch), you had this anticipation. What’s going to happen here? The first time you got in a car, there was this “can I really do it?” Everyone feels a lack of confidence when they are beginning something brand new. You want to make friends. But that part of you that feels a bit insecure because you know you are on the edge of learning and as you are willing to take steps and get support in taking those steps, you will find that confidence is the result of having taken steps in your own behalf in the absence of knowing exactly how.

But you stood on your understanding about how it works in this world. You walk probably pretty much every day these days and probably drive a car a whole lot of time. And I will bet, numerous times during the day, you flip the switch. How you develop confidence, is being willing to recognize that you do it by doing what you are afraid to do but you do it in a measured, successful and coached way every single time. And you are going to find that confidence grows in you. It is the most natural thing in the world. You have a lot of confidence right now; let’s get you confident in the next area of your life.
