The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
~Ayn Rand~
Nice quote right there. Now, go step on those rungs!
If you haven't yet, I encourage you to check out Part 1 of this post series. If you have, let's proceed!
No, I am not talking about the misconception of confidence of being able to walk up to that girl at the bar. That is not confidence.
Having the confidence I speak of can also be said as 'having certainty'.
In my opinion, there is no greater form of confidence than having utter certainty. Having direction, and a true purpose. That is confidence. Not the 21st century crap that all our younger generations are being misconceived about.
This is a serious matter. Having confidence in your direction, and more so, your abilities, can set you apart from majority of other people. I would estimate and say maybe only 0.2-0.5% of people have true confidence in themselves.
Your ego.. This is yet, another big one. This point definitely interlinks with all the other points in some way.
Your ego is a huge influencer on your ability to be open-minded, and your ability to be coachable. It also has a huge deciding factor on how you act-out on your confidence.
When being coached, and taking valuable information from someone who has achieved more than you have, you need to be able to set your ego aside. This is in my opinion the toughest thing to do.
We limit a lot of the opportunities around us because our ego's need to remain alive. Teach yourself to put that ego aside, and just try and grow from anything somebody tells you.
Stay tuned for Part 3, where I will bring in all these points, and talk about my thought of how you can integrate them with gaining a better approach to climbing the Steemit ladder!
