Confidence

Confidence is a heavily misunderstood concept. Confidence cannot be faked.
You can fake and manufacture motivation, excitement, or even passion at the moment.
Unlike motivation and other emotional states which are more surface level, confidence is deeper and more subconscious.

Your confidence is based on what you’ve done. What you’ve done, in addition to the situation your prior performance has created, shapes your belief about your future

Confidence is for sure your belief in your capability to succeed. It is also reflected in the level of performance and mastery you can develop. In other words, your imagination and mindset are based on your confidence.

You can fake imagination and mindset for a short period of time. But at your core, you won’t really believe what you conjure up in your mind without the confidence to support it. For example, a person who has never made 6-figures may imagine they are making tens of millions.

But they don't really believe it to the level of conviction.
Breaking this down even further:
Confidence comes from past performance
Recent past performance is more important than the stuff you did 5–10 years ago
You can’t ride the wave of old confidence for too long
Who you were isn’t who you are
You may have had huge confidence, faith, and imagination a few years ago but not have huge confidence now

Your belief, level of imagination, and faith in your future are based on your confidence
The bigger your confidence, the bigger your future.
