Confidence wants to have a word with you. It wants to tell you that it springs more from insight than from personality, more from failure than from winning. In fact, the more you fail, the more confidence you build when you struggle through that failure and eventually master the task or performance.

In the week I've been a subscriber this has been my favorite one. Lot of great, visual stirring phrases in this one. Humble and practice were two things that kept coming to mind while reading this.

"There’s not winning and losing. There’s winning and learning."

Confidence comes from competence. Competence comes from action.
