If you’re not feeling confident right now, how can you possibly feel confident about the future? Doubts and fears about the unknown can paralyze us into inaction. We don’t know how to take the first step. Quite simply, you need to “fake it NOW till you make it LATER”. Remember, there really is no Later, because there will never be a time when it is not Now. If you’re thinking about Later you’re thinking about it Now. And you’re making it up! If you’re going to make up what will happen Later, wouldn’t it be wise to make up good stuff? Isn’t it reasonable to make up stuff that makes you feel confident and brave? And also remember this…It’s all about what you tell yourself. If you tell yourself you can and you will…then you will. Tell yourself to take these five actions. Do it Now.
- Check your foundation. When your foundation isn’t solid, things can fall apart. If your foundation is based on deceit or manipulation, you cannot succeed. Build your life based upon the things that matter. Truth, faith and love. Be in integrity with yourself and what you believe to be good and right. Never compromise your values. Have faith in yourself and your abilities. Choose actions based on love rather than fear.
- Build consistently. Consistent action pays off. Commit. Did you know that the elevator to success is out of order? You must take the stairs… one step at a time. One of the biggest steps you can take is to habitually show up day after day with an attitude of excellence.
- Value what you have created and take care of it. Burning bridges is never a good idea. Conserve what you construct. Do not waste your resources or your time. Tend to your garden. Nourish your relationships. Your gains in the Now will support your needs Later, when you plan wisely.
- Finish what you begin. That is, if it is worth finishing. Follow through on what you believe to be worth your time and effort. Goals can change. Conditions can change. There is no need to finish something purely for the sake of finishing. However, if it matters, do it! Let nothing stand in your way. Accomplishment builds confidence.
- Today is the only day there is. And Now is the only time. Sometimes we tell ourselves that ”this is not the right time.” We create limitations and fears and we fail to begin. Make up some good stuff instead. Begin today.
