Shari B. Kaplan explains that confidence isn't something you feel first. You build it by taking action and accomplishing things. Each time you do something, you feel good about it, which makes you want to do more.
Confidence is built through action. When you take action and you do something and you accomplish something, or it affects another individual, that's when you actually feel the confidence. When you actually take action and you experience yourself feeling good about the action that you took, that helps to build confidence. That also helps to build self-esteem, the extent to which you like yourself, because if you're doing things and taking action on things, that's not only going to help you to feel confident, but hopefully you will appreciate yourself more and develop a liking for yourself.
