A little off topic, but I have to say that the image of a "confidence sine wave" was quite amusing to me. Another great article for this series, Chris.

In my opinion, the term "confidence" is merely an abstract way of talking about: Fear - If you're afraid, then you have a tendency to withdraw from the cause Incongruence - If you're not absolutely certain about your path, then you might hesitate, just because you don't completely believe in what you're doing Self-esteem - If you don't believe in yourself, it's hard to feel capable and courageous Skill - If you don't know what you're doing, then a lack of "confidence" is a natural response Exhaustion - If you're tired, it's hard to feel anything positive The list could probably go on. I think the reason people have so much trouble "building their confidence" is they lump all of these feelings under one, vague state of mind. It's much easier to address it if you know precisely what you're feeling and why. Then you can choose the approach that will lift you out of it. Because really, there are different approaches for each of those separate emotions. Thanks for the list of approaches, Chris.

I recently wrote about confidence as well in a post titled, Sometimes It Just Takes A Step. Everyone has a vast amount of potential, and confidence can open that potential up.
