00:00You know, I've learned something over the years.
00:03People often look at someone who's successful,
00:07someone who walks into a room with their head held high,
00:10and they think,
00:11well, they were just born that way.
00:14They've always had it together.
00:16But let me tell you something,
00:18that's not how it works.
00:21That's not how any of this works.
00:23Confidence isn't something that gets delivered to your doorstep
00:26in a neat little package with a bow on top.
00:31Nobody hands you confidence when you turn a certain age.
00:35Your parents can't give it to you,
00:37though Lord knows they try.
00:39Your friends can't give it to you.
00:41Success can't even give it to you.
00:44Not lasting confidence anyway.
00:47Confidence is something you build,
00:49brick by brick.
00:52Choice by choice.
00:53I remember times in my life
00:55when I felt like the smallest person in the room.
00:57Times when I doubted every word that came out of my mouth.
01:02Times when I looked in the mirror
01:04and wondered if I had what it took,
01:07and you want to know what changed.
01:08It wasn't that someone came along and said,
01:12here, have some confidence.
01:13It was that I did the thing I was afraid to do.
01:16And then I did it again.
01:17Again, and again,
01:19see, every time you face your fear
01:22and move forward anyway,
01:24that's you laying a foundation.
01:26Every time you fall down and choose to get back up,
01:30that's you building walls.
01:32Every time you speak your truth,
01:34even when your voice shakes,
01:37that's you adding another floor to your confidence.
01:40And here's what they don't tell you.
01:43Sometimes those walls crumble.
01:45Sometimes you build something up
01:47and life comes along with a wrecking ball.
01:49You lose the job.
01:51The relationship ends.
01:53The dream doesn't work out the way you planned.
01:56And you think,
01:57all that confidence I built,
02:00where did it go?
02:02But here's the beautiful thing
02:03about building something yourself.
02:05You know how to rebuild it
02:07because you've done it before.
02:10You know where the foundation is.
02:12You know what materials you need.
02:14You know the work it takes.
02:17The people who seem the most confident,
02:19they're not the ones who never failed.
02:22They're the ones who failed
02:23and kept building anyway.
02:25They're the ones who understand
02:27that confidence isn't about being fearless.
02:30It's about being afraid
02:32and doing it anyway,
02:34over and over,
02:35until you've built something so strong
02:37that even when the storms come,
02:40the foundation holds.
02:42Every single person in this room
02:44has the capacity
02:45to build unshakable confidence.
02:47Not because
02:48someone's going to give it to you.
02:51Not because you're waiting
02:53for the perfect moment
02:54when you suddenly feel ready.
02:57But because you're willing to do the work.
03:00Because you're willing to try and fail
03:02and try again.
03:04Because you're willing to be uncomfortable
03:06in the service of your own growth.
03:08You build confidence
03:10when you honor your word to yourself.
03:12When you say you're going to do something
03:14and you follow through,
03:16even when it's hard,
03:18even when no one's watching,
03:20even when you'd rather stay in bed.
03:23That's you proving to yourself
03:26that you're trustworthy.
03:27That you're capable.
03:29That you're someone who shows up.
03:32You build confidence
03:33when you stop waiting for permission.
03:35Stop waiting for someone to tell you
03:37you're good enough,
03:39smart enough,
03:40ready enough.
03:41You give yourself permission.
03:44You decide you're worthy of taking up space in the room.
03:47You decide your voice matters.
03:49You decide to try.
03:50You build confidence
03:52when you celebrate the small victories.
03:55Because the big dramatic moments,
03:57they're rare.
03:59But the small choices
04:00you make every single day.
04:02To speak up in the meeting.
04:04To set a boundary.
04:05To try something new.
04:07To be kind to yourself
04:08when you mess up.
04:10Those are the building blocks.
04:12Don't dismiss them.
04:14And listen to me on this one.
04:16You build confidence
04:16when you stop
04:17comparing your construction site
04:20to someone else's finished building.
04:23You're looking at their highlight reel
04:25and comparing it to your behind.
04:27The scene's footage.
04:29They had to build too.
04:31They had messy construction sites too.
04:34They had days when they wanted to give up too.
04:37Your journey is your own.
04:39Your timeline is your own.
04:41Your building is your own.
04:42So where do you start?
04:44Right where you are.
04:45With the next brave choice.
04:48With the next time you choose courage over comfort.
04:52With the next moment you decide
04:53that your fear gets a voice but not a vote.
04:56You don't have to build a skyscraper tomorrow.
04:59You just have to lay one brick today.
05:02And then another tomorrow.
05:04And before you know it,
05:06you'll look back and see what you constructed.
05:08And you'll realize
05:09you did it that.
05:12Not because someone gave you confidence.
05:15But because you built it.
05:17And that kind of confidence.
05:19The kind you build yourself.
05:21That's the kind that lasts.
05:23That's the kind that can weather any storm.
05:26That's the kind that becomes so much a part of who you are
05:28that nobody can take it away from you.
05:31So get to work.
05:33Start building.
05:35Your confidence is waiting for you.
05:36Not out there, somewhere,
05:39but right here,
05:40in the choices you make,
05:42in the courage you summon,
05:44in the work you're willing to do.
05:46Build it.
05:47Live it.
05:48Confidence is something we fundamentally
05:51misunderstand in our culture.
05:54We see someone command a room
05:55with their presence
05:56and we assume they were born that way.
05:59We watch someone speak eloquently without notes
06:02and think they just naturally have that gift.
06:05We observe people making bold decisions
06:08and imagine they've never experienced doubt.
06:12But that assumption is not only wrong,
06:15but it's also dangerous
06:16because it makes us believe that confidence
06:19is something you either have or you don't.
06:22It makes us think we're waiting for confidence
06:25to arrive like a package in the mail
06:27or like some kind of magical transformation
06:30that happens overnight.
06:33The truth is far more empowering than that fantasy.
06:37Confidence is built through action
06:39and action alone.
06:40It's constructed piece by piece by piece
06:43through the accumulation of experiences
06:45where you face your fears
06:47and move forward anyway.
06:48Think about learning to ride a bicycle.
06:52Nobody handed you the confidence to ride.
06:55You had to get on that bike.
06:57You had to wobble.
06:58You had to fall.
07:00You had to scrape your knees
07:01and get back on again.
07:03And each time you got back on,
07:05you were building something.
07:07You were building evidence for yourself
07:09that you could do hard things.
07:11You were building trust in your own resilience.
07:15You were building the knowledge
07:17that falling down doesn't mean staying down.
07:20That's how all confidence works
07:22in every area of life.
07:25You don't wait until you feel confident
07:27to take action.
07:29You take action and the confidence follows.
07:32You speak up in the meeting
07:33even though your voice shakes
07:35and afterward you realize you survived it.
07:39That's you building confidence.
07:40You have the difficult conversation
07:42you've been avoiding
07:44and you discover you can handle confrontation.
07:48That's you building confidence.
07:50You try something new
07:52and even if you fail,
07:53you learn that failure isn't fatal.
07:56That's you building confidence.
07:58The problem is we've been taught to wait.
08:01We wait until we feel ready.
08:03We wait until we feel confident.
08:05We wait until someone gives us permission
08:07or validates our worthiness.
08:09But waiting doesn't build anything.
08:13Waiting is the opposite of building.
08:15Waiting is standing in front of an empty lot
08:18with a pile of bricks at your feet
08:21saying you'll start building
08:23when you feel like a builder.
08:25But you become a builder by building.
08:28You become confident by doing the things that scare you.
08:31And here's what's crucial to understand
08:34about this process.
08:35Every single time you take action
08:37in the face of fear,
08:40you're not just building confidence
08:42for that specific situation.
08:44You're building a broader sense of self-efficacy.
08:47You're teaching yourself at the deepest level
08:50that you are someone who can handle difficulty.
08:53You're creating a track record with yourself
08:55that says when things get hard,
08:57you don't run away.
08:58You show up.
09:01You try.
09:02You persist.
09:03This is why confidence
09:04that comes from external sources
09:06is so fragile.
09:08If someone compliments you
09:09and that makes you feel confident,
09:12then your confidence is dependent
09:14on receiving compliments.
09:16If you succeed at something
09:18and that gives you confidence,
09:20then your confidence crumbles
09:22the moment you experience failure.
09:24But when you build confidence
09:26through your own repeated actions,
09:29through your willingness
09:30to be uncomfortable,
09:31through your choice,
09:33to try even,
09:34try E when you're scared,
09:36then that confidence has roots.
09:38It has foundation.
09:40It can weather storms
09:42because it's not dependent on circumstances,
09:45being perfect,
09:46or people saying the right things.
09:48It's dependent only,
09:49only in your willingness
09:50to keep building.
09:51The most confident people you know
09:54aren't the ones
09:55who've never experienced fear or doubt.
09:58They're the ones
09:59who have felt those things deeply
10:01and moved forward anyway.
10:03So many times
10:05that they've built an unshakable trust
10:07in their ability
10:08to handle whatever comes.
10:10They've earned their confidence
10:12through action.
10:13And that's the only way
10:14any of us truly earn it.
10:17We live in a world
10:18that celebrates the big moments.
10:19We celebrate the promotion.
10:22We celebrate the championship.
10:25We celebrate the grand achievement.
10:27And there's nothing wrong
10:28with celebrating those milestones.
10:30But here's what we miss.
10:33We miss the thousands
10:34of small choices
10:35that led to those big moments.
10:38We miss the daily decisions
10:39that nobody saw.
10:41We miss the tiny acts of courage
10:43that happened in the quiet morning hours
10:45or late at night
10:46when no one was watching.
10:48And those small,
10:50consistent choices
10:51are where confidence
10:52is actually built.
10:54Think about what it means
10:55to build anything
10:56in the physical world.
10:59You don't start with the roof.
11:01You don't begin
11:02with the dramatic,
11:03towering structure
11:04that everyone can see
11:05from miles away.
11:07You start with the foundation.
11:09You dig into the ground
11:10where nobody will ever see your work.
11:13You lay one brick at a time.
11:15You mix the concrete.
11:16You measure twice.
11:19You do the unglamorous,
11:20repetitive work
11:21that creates something solid enough
11:24to hold everything else
11:25that comes later.
11:27Building confidence works
11:28exactly the same way.
11:30The foundation is built
11:32the small daily choices
11:34you make when it would be easier
11:36to make a different choice.
11:38It's built when you say
11:39you're going to wake up early
11:41and exercise
11:42and then you actually do it
11:44even though your bed
11:45is warm and comfortable.
11:48It's built
11:49when you commit to
11:51working on that project
11:52for 30 minutes
11:53and you honor that commitment
11:55even though you're tired.
11:57It's built when you tell yourself
11:59you're going to speak up
12:00in the next meeting
12:01and then when the moment comes
12:03you open your mouth
12:05even though your heart is racing.
12:08Every single time
12:10you keep a promise to yourself
12:12you're laying a brick.
12:13Every time you do the thing
12:15you said you would do
12:16you're adding to the foundation.
12:19And here's what
12:20most people don't realize.
12:22These small acts of integrity
12:24with yourself
12:25are more powerful
12:26than any external achievement.
12:28Because when you consistently
12:30follow through
12:32on your commitments to yourself
12:33you develop something profound.
12:35You develop trust in yourself.
12:38You prove to yourself
12:39that you are reliable.
12:42You demonstrate
12:42that you are someone
12:43who shows up.
12:45And that self-trust
12:46is the bedrock
12:47of genuine confidence.
12:49The problem is
12:50these small choices
12:52don't feel significant
12:53in the moment.
12:54Waking up
12:55when your alarm goes off
12:56instead of hitting snooze
12:58doesn't feel
12:59like you're building confidence.
13:01Speaking up
13:02with one comment
13:03in a meeting
13:05doesn't feel like
13:05a transformative act.
13:07Saying no
13:08to something
13:09that doesn't serve you
13:11even though it disappoints.
13:13Someone doesn't feel
13:14like you're constructing
13:15anything meaningful.
13:17But you are.
13:18You absolutely are.
13:20Think of it
13:20like compound interest.
13:22One dollar invested
13:23doesn't seem like much.
13:25Ten dollars
13:25doesn't seem like much.
13:28But invested consistently
13:29over time
13:30with patience
13:31and discipline
13:32it grows
13:33into something substantial.
13:35Your small daily choices
13:36work the same way.
13:38One act of courage
13:39compounds with the next one.
13:41One kept promise
13:42to yourself
13:42builds on the previous one.
13:45One boundary set
13:46makes the next boundary
13:47easier to set.
13:49And over time
13:50without you
13:50even fully realizing
13:52it's happening
13:53you look up
13:53and discover
13:55you've built
13:55something solid.
13:56this is why
13:58people who try
13:59to build confidence
14:00through big dramatic
14:02gestures often fail.
14:04They want to make
14:04one giant leap.
14:05They want to do
14:06something spectacular
14:07that will transform
14:09them overnight.
14:10But confidence
14:11doesn't work that way.
14:13You can't skip
14:14the foundation
14:14and jump straight
14:15to the penthouse.
14:17You have to do
14:18the daily work.
14:20You have to make
14:21the small choices.
14:23You have to show up
14:24for yourself
14:24in the unglamorous moments
14:26when nobody's watching
14:28and nothing feels
14:29particularly special.
14:31Because those moments
14:33are everything.
14:35Those moments
14:36are where you prove
14:37to yourself
14:37who you are.
14:38Those moments
14:39are where real confidence
14:40gets built
14:41one small brave choice
14:43at a time.
14:44There's something
14:45we need to talk about
14:46when it comes to failure
14:48because I think
14:50we got it all wrong.
14:51We treat failure
14:52like it's the opposite
14:53of success.
14:55We treat it like
14:56it's something
14:56to be ashamed of
14:58or something
14:59that proves
15:00we weren't good enough
15:01or ready enough
15:02or capable enough.
15:04We try to hide
15:05our failures.
15:06We minimize them.
15:08We pretend
15:09they didn't hurt
15:09as much as they did.
15:11And in doing so
15:12we miss the entire point
15:14of what failure
15:15actually is in the process
15:17of building confidence.
15:19Failure is not
15:19the destruction
15:20of confidence.
15:22Failure is part
15:23of the construction process.
15:24It's one of the most
15:25essential building materials
15:27you have.
15:29Think about actual construction
15:31for a moment.
15:32When you're building
15:33something real
15:34and substantial
15:35you don't get it perfect
15:37on the first try.
15:39You measure
15:39and sometimes
15:40your measurements are off.
15:42You cut
15:43and sometimes
15:44you cut wrong.
15:45You assemble
15:45and sometimes
15:46things don't fit
15:47the way you thought
15:48they would.
15:49and what do you do
15:51when that happens?
15:53You don't abandon
15:53the entire project.
15:55You don't decide
15:55you're not a builder.
15:57You adjust.
15:59You learn.
16:00You try a different approach.
16:02You use what didn't work
16:03to inform
16:04what you'll do next.
16:06That's exactly
16:07what failure does
16:08in the process
16:09of building confidence.
16:11Every time
16:11you try something
16:12and it doesn't work out
16:15the way you hoped
16:16you're gathering information.
16:17You're learning
16:18what doesn't work
16:19which is just as valuable
16:21as learning
16:22what does work.
16:24You're discovering
16:25your own resilience.
16:27You're finding out
16:28that you can survive
16:29disappointment.
16:30You're proving
16:31to yourself
16:31that one setback
16:33doesn't define you
16:35or destroy you.
16:36And all of that
16:37is you building confidence
16:39even though
16:40it doesn't feel like
16:41in the moment.
16:43The people
16:43who have
16:44the strongest confidence
16:46aren't the people
16:47who never failed.
16:49They're the people
16:49who have failed
16:51repeatedly
16:51and kept going anyway.
16:53They're the people
16:54who understand
16:55that failure
16:55is temporary
16:56but quitting
16:58is permanent.
16:59They're the people
17:00who've learned
17:00that falling down
17:01and getting
17:02back up
17:04actually builds
17:05more confidence
17:06than never falling
17:07at all
17:07because getting back up
17:09proves something
17:09to yourself
17:10that smooth sailing
17:12never could.
17:14it proves
17:15it proves
17:15you have
17:15resilience
17:16it proves
17:17you have
17:18determination
17:19it proves
17:20you're not
17:20fragile.
17:21Here's what
17:21happens
17:22when you
17:22reframe
17:23failure
17:24as part
17:25of the
17:25building process
17:26instead of
17:27as destruction
17:27you stop
17:29being so afraid
17:30of it
17:30and when
17:31you stop
17:32being afraid
17:33of failure
17:34you start
17:34taking more
17:35risks
17:36you start
17:37trying things
17:38you never
17:38would have
17:39tried before
17:39you start
17:40speaking up
17:41and putting
17:42yourself
17:42out there
17:43and going
17:44after
17:44opportunities
17:45that the
17:46old fearful
17:47version of
17:48you would
17:48have avoided
17:49and every
17:50single one
17:50of those
17:51attempts
17:51whether
17:52it succeeds
17:53or fails
17:54is building
17:55your confidence
17:55because you're
17:57proving to
17:58yourself
17:58that you're
17:58someone who
17:59tries
18:00you're someone
18:02who takes
18:02action
18:03you're someone
18:03who doesn't
18:04let fear
18:05make all
18:06your decisions
18:06I've watched
18:08so many
18:08people
18:09avoid
18:09building
18:10confidence
18:10because they're
18:11trying to
18:12avoid
18:12failure
18:13they wait
18:15for the
18:15perfect
18:15moment
18:16they prepare
18:17endlessly
18:17they analyze
18:18every possible
18:19outcome
18:20and while
18:21they're waiting
18:22and preparing
18:22analyzing
18:23they're not
18:24building anything
18:25they're not
18:26laying bricks
18:27they're not
18:28gathering
18:29experience
18:30they're standing
18:32still
18:32and standing
18:33still doesn't
18:34build confidence
18:35only movement
18:36builds confidence
18:37only action
18:38builds confidence
18:39and action
18:40inevitably
18:41includes failure
18:42so when you
18:43fail and
18:44you will fail
18:46because everyone
18:47who's actually
18:48building
18:48some things
18:49you need to
18:50see it clearly
18:51for what it is
18:51it's not evidence
18:53that you're not
18:54good enough
18:54it's evidence
18:56that you're in
18:57the arena
18:57it's evidence
18:59that you're trying
19:00it's evidence
19:01that you're building
19:02and the fact
19:03that you can fail
19:04and still choose
19:06to keep building
19:07is the strongest
19:08foundationation
19:09for confidence
19:10you could possibly
19:11create
19:12that's you
19:13teaching yourself
19:14that you're
19:14unbreakable
19:15that's you
19:16proving that
19:17setbacks are
19:18temporary
19:19that's you
19:20building confidence
19:21through the
19:22very thing
19:23most people think
19:24destroys it
19:25there's a particular
19:26kind of confidence
19:27that runs deeper
19:28than any other
19:29and it comes
19:30from one source
19:31only
19:32it comes
19:33from trusting
19:34yourself
19:34not trusting
19:36that you'll
19:36always succeed
19:37or that things
19:39will always work
19:40out perfectly
19:40or that you'll
19:42never make mistakes
19:43but trusting
19:45that you'll show
19:45up for yourself
19:46trusting that
19:48when you make
19:49a commitment
19:49to yourself
19:51you honor it
19:51trusting that
19:53you are reliable
19:53even when no one
19:55else is watching
19:56this kind of
19:57self-trust
19:57is the foundation
19:59upon which
19:59all genuine
20:00confidence
20:00is built
20:02think about
20:03the relationships
20:03in your life
20:05where you feel
20:06most secure
20:07and confident
20:08they're the
20:08relationships
20:09with people
20:10who do what
20:10they say
20:11they're going
20:12to do
20:12people who
20:15show up
20:15when they
20:16promise to
20:16show up
20:17people whose
20:18words match
20:18their actions
20:19you trust
20:21them because
20:22they've proven
20:22over time
20:23through consistent
20:24behavior
20:25that they are
20:26reliable
20:26and that trust
20:28allows you to
20:28feel confident
20:29in the relationship
20:30you know where
20:32you stand
20:33you know you
20:34can count on
20:35them
20:35now here's the
20:36question most
20:37people never
20:38ask themselves
20:38are you that
20:40person for
20:41yourself
20:41when you tell
20:43yourself you're
20:43going to do
20:44something
20:45do you actually
20:46do it
20:47when you set a
20:47goal or make
20:49a plan do you
20:50follow do you
20:51follow through or
20:51do you abandon
20:53it the moment it
20:54gets difficult or
20:55inconvenient
20:55when you establish
20:56a boundary do you
20:58maintain it or do
20:59you cave
20:59the first time
21:01someone pushes
21:02back because
21:03every single
21:04time you break
21:05a promise to
21:06yourself you're
21:07teaching yourself
21:08that you can't
21:09be trusted
21:10you're undermining
21:11your own
21:11confidence at
21:12the most
21:13fundamental level
21:14most of us
21:17would never
21:17treat a friend
21:18the way we
21:18treat ourselves
21:19if you told
21:20a friend you'd
21:22meet them for
21:22coffee you'd
21:23show up
21:23if you made
21:25a commitment
21:26to help
21:27someone you'd
21:27follow through
21:28but with
21:29ourselves
21:29we're casual
21:30about our
21:31commitments
21:31we say we're
21:33going to start
21:34eating healthier
21:35and then we
21:36don't
21:37we say we're
21:37going to work
21:38on that project
21:39and then we
21:40spend the time
21:41scrolling instead
21:42we say we're
21:44going to set
21:45boundaries at
21:45work and then
21:47we say yes to
21:48everything
21:48and each time we
21:49do this we're
21:50eroding our
21:51self-trust
21:52which means we're
21:53eroding our
21:54confidence
21:55here's what
21:56happens when
21:57you start
21:58keeping your
21:58word to
21:59yourself
21:59you begin
22:01to prove
22:02through your
22:02own actions
22:03that you are
22:03capable
22:04not capable
22:05in some
22:05abstract
22:06theoretical
22:06way
22:07but capable
22:08capable
22:08in the most
22:09concrete
22:10practical
22:10sense
22:11you said
22:11you would
22:11do the
22:12thing
22:12and you
22:12did the
22:13thing
22:13that's
22:14evidence
22:15that's
22:16proof
22:16and your
22:17brain keeps
22:18track of
22:19this evidence
22:20every kept
22:21promise
22:21becomes a
22:22data point
22:22that says
22:23you can
22:23trust
22:24yourself
22:24and when
22:26you trust
22:26yourself
22:27you naturally
22:28feel more
22:29confident
22:30because you
22:31know that
22:32whatever challenge
22:33comes your way
22:34you'll show up
22:34for it
22:35this is why
22:36people who rely
22:37on external
22:38validation for
22:39their confidence
22:39are always on
22:41shaky ground
22:42if your confidence
22:43depends on other
22:44people believing
22:45in you or
22:46encouraging you
22:47or validating
22:49you then what
22:50happens when
22:51that external
22:52support isn't
22:52there what
22:53happens when
22:54you face
22:55something where
22:56no one is
22:56cheering you
22:57on your
22:58confidence
22:59collapses
22:59because it
23:00was never
23:01really yours
23:02to begin
23:02with but
23:03when your
23:04confidence is
23:04built on
23:05self trust
23:06on your
23:07own track
23:07record of
23:09showing up
23:09for yourself
23:10then it
23:11goes with
23:11you everywhere
23:12it's there
23:13in the quiet
23:13moments
23:14it's there
23:15when you're
23:16alone
23:16it's there
23:18when everyone
23:18else doubts
23:19you because
23:20you don't
23:21doubt you
23:21you know
23:22who you
23:22are
23:23you know
23:23you keep
23:23your word
23:24start small
23:26if you need
23:26to make
23:28one promise
23:28to yourself
23:29today and
23:30keep it
23:30maybe it's
23:31just that
23:32you'll drink
23:32enough water
23:33maybe it's
23:35that you'll
23:35go to bed
23:36at a reasonable
23:37time
23:37maybe it's
23:38that you'll
23:39take 10
23:40minutes to
23:41work on
23:42something that
23:42matters to
23:43you
23:43the size
23:44of the
23:44promise
23:45doesn't
23:45matter
23:46nearly
23:46as much
23:47as the
23:47act of
23:48keeping
23:48it
23:49because
23:49every
23:49kept
23:50promise
23:50is a
23:50brick
23:51in the
23:51foundation
23:52of self
23:52and self
23:53and trust
23:54is where
23:54unshakable
23:55confidence
23:56lives
23:56so here
23:58we are
23:58we've talked
23:59about action
24:00and small
24:00choices
24:01and failure
24:01and trust
24:02we've
24:03talked about
24:04building
24:05and breaking
24:06down
24:06breaking down
24:07and building
24:07again
24:08and if you
24:09take nothing
24:10else from
24:10this conversation
24:11today
24:11take this
24:12one truth
24:13with you
24:14you already
24:14have everything
24:15you need
24:16to build
24:16confidence
24:17right now
24:18right where
24:19you're sitting
24:20you don't need
24:21more time
24:22you don't need
24:24different circumstances
24:25you don't need
24:26someone else
24:27to believe
24:28in you first
24:29you just need
24:30to start
24:31building
24:31and I know
24:32that might
24:33feel overwhelming
24:34you might be
24:35looking at
24:35where you are
24:36right now
24:36and where
24:38you want to be
24:39and the distance
24:40between those
24:41two points
24:42feels impossible
24:43you might be
24:44thinking about
24:45all the times
24:46you've tried
24:47before
24:47and it didn't
24:48work out
24:49you might be
24:51cataloging
24:51all your
24:52failures
24:52and all your
24:53fears
24:54and all the
24:55reasons why
24:56this time
24:56won't be
24:57different
24:57but here's
24:58what I want
24:59you to
25:00understand
25:00you're not
25:01starting from
25:02zero
25:02you've already
25:04survived
25:04every difficult
25:05day you've
25:06ever had
25:06you've already
25:07gotten back up
25:08from setbacks
25:10that felt
25:11impossible at the
25:12time
25:12you've already
25:13shown courage
25:14in ways
25:14you probably
25:15don't even
25:16give yourself
25:17credit for
25:17you've already
25:19built more
25:20than you realize
25:21you just
25:22haven't been
25:23looking at
25:23as building
25:24you've been
25:25dismissing
25:26your efforts
25:27you've been
25:28waiting for
25:28some grand
25:29transformation
25:30instead of
25:32recognizing
25:32the foundation
25:33you've already
25:34laid
25:34today can be
25:36different not
25:36because everything
25:37changes at once
25:39but because you
25:40decide to see
25:41it differently
25:42you decide to
25:43recognize that
25:44every choice you
25:45make is either
25:46building confidence
25:47or eroding it
25:48and with that
25:50awareness you get
25:51to choose
25:52you get to decide
25:53that today you're
25:55going to keep
25:55one promise to
25:56yourself
25:57you're going to
25:59take one action
26:00that scares you
26:00you're going to
26:01honor one commitment
26:02even when it's
26:03hard
26:04just one brick
26:05that's all you
26:07need to do
26:07today
26:08and then tomorrow
26:09you'll lay
26:10another brick
26:10and the day
26:12after that
26:13another one
26:13and some days
26:14you'll lay
26:15bricks that
26:15don't quite
26:16fit right
26:17and you'll
26:18have to
26:18adjust
26:19some days
26:21the weather
26:21won't
26:22cooperate
26:22and the work
26:23will be harder
26:24than you expected
26:25some days
26:27you'll look
26:28at what you're
26:28building
26:29and wonder
26:30if it's worth
26:30it
26:31but you'll
26:31keep building
26:32anyway
26:32because now
26:33you understand
26:34that's what
26:35confidence is
26:36it's not the
26:38absence of doubt
26:39it's the choice
26:40to build in spite
26:41of doubt
26:41a year from now
26:44you could be
26:44in the same place
26:46you are right now
26:47still waiting
26:48to feel confident
26:49still waiting
26:50for someone
26:51to give you
26:51permission
26:52still waiting
26:54for the perfect
26:54moment
26:55or a year
26:56from now
26:57you could look
26:57back and see
26:58what you've
26:59constructed
27:00you could see
27:02the evidence
27:02of your own
27:03courage
27:03you could see
27:04the proof
27:05of your own
27:06capability
27:06you could stand
27:08in the structure
27:09you built
27:09with your own
27:10hands
27:10and finally
27:11understand
27:11that you were
27:13always
27:14capable of this
27:15you just had
27:16to start
27:17the beauty
27:19of confidence
27:19being built
27:20and not given
27:21is that no one
27:23can take it away
27:23from you
27:24once you've
27:24built it
27:25the challenges
27:26will come
27:26the storms
27:28will hit
27:28people will
27:29doubt you
27:30circumstances
27:31will test you
27:32but when you've
27:33built your
27:33confidence
27:34on the solid
27:35foundation
27:35of self
27:36trust
27:37and action
27:38and resilience
27:39none of that
27:40can shake you
27:41because you know
27:42how to build
27:42and even if
27:44everything crumbles
27:45you know how to
27:45rebuild
27:46so stop waiting
27:48stop looking around
27:50for someone to
27:51hand you confidence
27:52like it's something
27:54they can give you
27:55stop believing
27:56that some people
27:57just have it
