Confidence is earned through execution.
That's an undeniable fact.
Even still ... many people will try to convince you otherwise.
They'll tell you confidence is something we're all deserving of and can tap into through affirmations...
Dressing differently...
Adjusting posture...
Smiling...
...and a bunch of other bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with real confidence.
Want proof?
Try looking in the mirror and telling yourself you're confident when you've taken zero action toward building yourself into someone you can actually feel confident in and proud of.
It doesn't fucking work.
If you haven't put in the work to earn your confidence...
You won't have any.
You have to execute.
You have to self-assess and improve.
You have to solve problems.
You have to keep the promises you make to yourself.
You have to get uncomfortable and embrace new challenges.
...and you have to do these things consistently because confidence is perishable.
Earning, building, and maintaining it requires a lifelong commitment.
Confidence is far more about what you're doing than what you've done.
...and if you aren't doing shit...
You can't be confident.
Period.
Start earning your confidence through execution.
There is no other way.
