I Am Confident I Can Learn Ballet

2/6/2019

 
What are you really good at? Something you can do in your sleep.

How did you get good at this? What did you need to do? How often did you need to do it? What did you need to believe when you were learning it?

What happens when you're really good at something? You become certain. You know that when you do X, Y will happen. There's almost nothing that can through you off your game.

When I was a kid, I loved building things with lego. I was meticulous about it as well. I needed to make sure I had all the pieces if I was following a plan. I would do this for hours. Into high school, shop became my best class. It was the most interesting to me and where I spent the most time.

Luckily I was able to continue this out of hight school and started my career in construction. I worked whenever I could and moved up the ladder fairly quickly. I started running projects when I was 20 years old and kept going from there. Yes, I made a lot of mistakes (and still do) but I was growing and I could see I was getting better. My confidence was building.

Now, what's something you're not good at? Something that you have no interest in because you can't do it.

There's a million things I'm not good at. Like ballet for example. I have never done ballet and I'm not as flexible as I need to be for it. I have zero confidence that if you put me on stage in front of a group of people that I would be able to perform for them right now.

Do I think I could do it if I practiced as much as I've practiced in construction? Absolutely! Give me 15 years of ballet at 40-60 hours per week and I'm confident that I'll crush it! Whether or not I want to do it is another story...

So what builds confidence then?

Action.

The only way you're going to become more confident is to take action. Whatever it is that you are laking confidence in is because you have not done what you know you need to do. Get up! Step up! Go after what you want!
