Today’s wisdom comes from The Confidence Gap by Dr. Russ Harris.
Russ teaches us: “The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later.”
Confidence isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we create. Harris reminds us that courage always comes before confidence.
Here’s how to build confidence through action today:
First, start small. He says: “If we want to increase our confidence, we must take small, achievable steps.” Choose one thing you’ve been avoiding and take the first step.
Next, accept discomfort. Russ writes: “Confidence is not the absence of fear—it’s the willingness to act despite it.”
Finally, focus on values, not outcomes. He reminds us: “Living by your values builds confidence over time.”
