Confidence isn't something you find first. It's built by doing scary things anyway. Each time you act despite fear, you prove to yourself you can handle it, and that proof becomes the confidence you draw on next time.
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.
