You want to have more courage and be more confident. You want to walk into a room and feel comfortable starting a conversation. You want to be brave and start that project or apply for that dream job. Whatever it is, you’ve got something you want to do, and you want the confidence to do it. But I’m going to tell you something, and it’s probably going to surprise you. Confidence is overrated. It’s not nearly as important as you think. Today I’m talking about why confidence is overrated and what is ten times more important. 

So when we talk about wanting to feel more confident, most of us want this. We want that certainty and self-assurance mentioned in the definition. But here’s the thing. Certainty? We want to know that the next step is "safe". Well, guess what 99.9% of the time it's not. Why? Because of it being a new thing we are dong based on the need to get it done and the commitment we made to start. 

So maybe you should stop thinking so much about confance and think about the necessarity of oyou "just doing it"
