Build some by doing

What’s the best way to build self-confidence? – Asks the daily prompt.

This might not be the best advice. I’ve always had issues with self-confidence and still do. Just doing this blog each day is a bit scary to me.

But through the help of others and the assistance of age I’ve learned a few tricks.

  • Good mental health. You can’t do your best when you’re not feeling your best.
  • Watch, Learn, Practice
  • Even if you’re afraid, go ahead and do it anyway.
  • Study and work hard.
  • Acknowledge your achievements, no matter how small.
  • Try not to worry about what others are doing.
  • At one time I thought things had to be perfect. Once I lost that anchor I started to do more.
  • Success can come in an instant. But most of the time it can take a lifetime. So don’t give up.

Take hold of the wheel and go.
