What is the best way to build self-confidence?

I am not sure self-confidence is the right place to begin. It can sound like trying to convince myself that I am impressive, capable, and ready.

A better word, for me, is entrusted. I have been given certain gifts, responsibilities, people to care for, and work to do. I did not create all of this. Much of it has been placed in my hands.

So the question changes. Not, “Am I good enough?” But, “What faithfulness is required of me here?” That does not remove fear. But it shifts the focus away from performance and toward the good that needs to be done.

I do not need to be impressive. I need to be faithful with what I have been given.

    The best way is to believe that only you in the world can do it. No one else. And if someone else has done it, why can’t you?With all the unique gifts God has given you, you are here to create the world the way you want. Your journey starts with believing in yourself and accepting yourself as a better human being every single day. Put in the effort, and may all of God’s blessings be with you for your future deeds.
