Faith comes before confidence
Faith comes before confidence and does not need to be earned. Faith is knowing that you can, simply because you were designed with the potential as your birthright as a human being. Stop wasting time doubting if you are able.
Confidence comes after faith and is built through a discovery and learning process that can only be gained through experiencing successes, failures, ups, and downs through dedicated practice. The feeling of confidence comes with time and consistency inside the context of faith, not perfection. So, stop waiting to be perfect to start the journey to confidence.
As you allow yourself to hone your skills, be kind to yourself. If faith is your foundation, you can stay in the game long enough to excel.
