Mel Robbins ON: Letting Go of Negative Thoughts & Redirecting Your Energy to Self Transformation
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
The Importance of Confidence: Taking Action and Overcoming Self-Doubt
Confidence is fundamentally about the willingness to take action and try new things, rather than merely a belief in oneself. This concept is encapsulated in the 'confidence competency loop,' where attempting something, even with the risk of failure, fosters greater confidence through experience and learning. Each attempt, regardless of outcome, contributes to growth; for example, learning from mistakes can enhance skills and reduce insecurities. The '60% rule' serves as a practical guideline for decision-making—if someone feels at least 60% qualified for an opportunity, whether a job or a new experience, they should seize it. Fostering this willingness to act can counteract self-doubt, which often stems from negative self-talk that discourages trying. Engaging in negative thinking not only hinders growth but also leads to wasted time and unfulfilled desires. Instead, it is vital to shift focus towards the possibilities of action and learning, fostering a proactive approach to confidence building.
