Believe You Can and You Will

As is our confidence, so is our capacity. – William Hazlitt

Henry Ford said that if you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.

But what is one of the keys to creating the mindset of “I can?”

It’s confidence.

How do you create confidence?

Develop clarity – know your Why.

Practice the skills. Get so good at the basics they’re second-nature.

Rehearse. Again and again and again.

And then stretch. Try to do more than you think you can.

Most of all though, be in-action and in-attention.

Confidence comes from doing, and doing comes from confidence.

But it starts with doing.
