Hello Mr. Stranger,

Good thread, btw. First I want to say that nobody is confident in every single area of their life. We all struggle with inner demons, from the rich to poor, from the unknown to the renowned.

My therapist told me that confidence is step-by-step. A good video I watched was by Will Smith. His father told him and his brother to build a brick wall. Will Smith was a young kid when his dad asked him to do that. So, you know what he did? He laid down each brick with precision.....one at a time....until a perfect wall was built. Well, maybe not perfect, but darned near perfect, according to his dad who worked in the building industry.

You can google the video online.

Point of the story is.....Rome wasn't build in a day to look that glorious. I can use the same analogy to confidence. Each step builds your confidence, no matter what area you are trying to improve. Write it down in a journal daily, or give yourself a gold star on the calendar for any sign of improvement. Visual things help me build up myself.

Best wishes.
