By deliberately stepping into fear‑inducing situations and persisting through them, a person creates a personal "bank of confidence"—a reserve of proven experiences that can be drawn upon in future challenges. The speaker emphasizes that even if the situation feels as scary as anticipated, acting anyway proves that the fear was manageable, leading to a sense of survival, thriving, and accomplishment that fuels confidence for the next encounter.

Chapters

until you have, you know, take that courage and get into the thick of it, you won't be able to fully have the confidence after to say, I actually survived. I actually thrived. I actually accomplished something that I didn't think that I could do. I moved past my fear. It's not as scary as I thought it would be, or it is. It was just as scary as I thought it would be, and I did it anyway. But it's definitely a valuable place that you want to get to, that you want to strive to get to, to build a bank of confidence, because you take that into the next situation, because there's always going to be a next situation.
