As nice as it would be, you don't just wake up one day feeling confident. Lasting confidence is earned, throught successes and accomplishments.
We all place expectations on the outcome of our performance. It is important to remember that such expectations ultimately determine whether you consider yourself successful or not.
If you're consistently not meeting your expectations, then you need to redefine them. Make sure that they are realistic expectations. And, most importantly, make sure that they are your own.
When you meet your own realistic expectations, when you measure success by your own barometer (not someone else's), you will feel successful and your confidence will rise.
God Bless,
