3 Biggest Myths of Self Confidence

• You have to be born with it.

Not true, self confidence is a set of skills that can be learned, just like learning to drive or play a game.

• If you've had your confidence destroyed, it's gone for good.

Wrong.  It may take a greater leap of faith to start building it back up, but once you're there you'll be much hardier than you were before and less likely to have your confidence shaken again.

• I'll know I'm confident when I can be sure I'll succeed at something new.

How can you know you'll succeed when you've never done something before?  Confidence is much more about tolerating uncertainty:  being cool with not knowing what is going to happen.
