doing

the best at it, get out of it the way you would get
out of a burning house

self-doubt can paralyse

you only get confidence by doing certain things over and over again that built a solid foundation within your own mind, that you can do whatever you need to do, that you have what it takes to be successful

we all have self-doubt and the way we overcome that self-doubt is by doing the things that we will normaly back away from

self-condifence begets achievement

nothing succeeds like success and once you've been successful you have a pattern set down which will enable you to imply that pattern in another part of your work to be successful in that and the more you succeed the more this pattern of success is reinforced

behave confidently

go confidently in the direction of your dreams and act as though it were impossible to fail

your true believes are only and always expressed in your actions
it is not what you say or what you intend that tells what
you believe but only what you do, your actions are always the true measures

if you don't feel like it, act the part
if you will act the part, if you will pretend as though you have the quality already, the feelings will generate the actions and actions will generate the feelings
if you act, walk, talk and live by the same principles and do the same things successful man und women do, even if you
doubt yourself in the initial stages, eventually you will come to a point where you actually feel to the bottom of your soul like a successful, positive, confident, cheerful, optimistic, unstoppable human being and thats the key, act the part until you feel the part
