Do you ever feel shitty about yourself? Do you ever feel like you have zero self-confidence? It happens all the time to most of us.
It seems like everyone is building billion-dollar businesses, becoming YouTube stars, or making it big on Instagram.
Deep down, most of us also know that it’s 99% bullshit. But at the same time, we see all these people living awesome lives, and we don’t care if it’s real or not.
Whether you want money, fame, travel, or none of that stuff, it doesn’t matter because it always comes down to this: How confident are you?
Are you confident enough to say “screw it,” and pursue your dream?
Are you confident enough to say “screw all this bullshit, I don’t need it,” and stay grounded?
You see? Self-confidence is important if you want to win at life — no matter what you’re after, a lack of confidence will always hold you back.
Research even shows that lack of self-confidence is associated with:
Depression
loneliness and feeling left out
Lower academic achievement
Lower life satisfaction
I’ve researched self-confidence for years, and the most practical theory that I’ve found is something called ‘confidence by competence.’
