Self confidence, taking action.

Artistic success is just as dependant on confidence as it is on competence.

When we take action, we strengthen our belief in our own ability to do things.

Have you ever had a great idea in the evening about what you should do to increase your sales and then over the next day you have slowly talked yourself out of it?

Why?

The tyranny of the past……...Lack of self confidence.

Fear of past failures.

Fear of past rejections.

Fear of past hurts.

These all gang up on us and our critical inner voice slowly wears away at our self confidence.

The inner voice say, “This is what will happen to you again, you don't want to experience those hurts again, so don't do it, you will be

laughed at because you know you are a failure, don't do it.”

Friends, yes we have all had past failures, that is life.

Life happens to us all.

You can use your past to your advantage or you can use it as bat to beat yourself up with, it's a choice.

The tyranny of the past hold so many back.

Use your past failures to teach you what not to do.

Use your past successes to build onto your future successes.

We need to build self confidence.

How?

Take action on your past.

Write out your past successes and how do you repeat them..

+ Success always leaves a trail, let it lead you to more success.

Write what not to do that led you to failures and how not to repeat them.

+ The steps down to failure can also be the steps that lead you up to success.

Writing things down is so important, keep a record of your thoughts and your actions.

Take action….. when you have a great idea, act on it quickly.

……. when you have work to do, do it.

……. write it down.

Taking action strengthens one's belief in one's ability to succeed.

Each action builds self confidence.

Self confidence accumulates through hard work and small successes which lead to big success.

Increase your self confidence by taking action, now.
