You know those people who seem naturally confident? Well, I’ve learned something fascinating about confidence—it’s not something we’re born with; it’s something we build, like a muscle. And just like a muscle, it grows stronger with regular exercise.

What’s interesting is that we often think we need to feel confident before we take action. But it actually works the other way around. Every time we step just outside our comfort zone, every time we handle something we didn’t think we could, we add another brick to our confidence foundation.

Think about how you learned to ride a bike as a kid. At first, you wobbled, worried, and probably shed a few tears. But with each attempt, with each small success, your belief in yourself grew. Sure, you fell a few times, but you got back up, dusted yourself off, and tried again.

The real secret to building confidence isn’t aiming for perfection—it’s striving for consistency. It’s about celebrating small wins, learning from setbacks, and remembering that every expert was once a beginner who just kept going.

Today’s Peace of Wisdom can be found in those small, everyday victories that strengthen our foundation.
