Self-confidence is a result, not a cause, and we cannot trick ourselves into feeling it. Affirmations are a very useful starting point and serve as a great reminder of what we are trying to accomplish, but you must put action behind it. We must remember that God designed us to be fruitful, so the feeling we are trying to achieve by gaining self-confidence is definitely within our reach. Dr. Cloud brings it back to original sin, and the idea that we can judge as God does. Self-confidence comes from practice in the absence of judgment. When a baby begins to take his first steps, even if he stumbles over he is met with cheers to encourage him to continue to grow. When you’re self-confident, you’re never thinking about self-confidence. We should live in the experience of what we're trying to do instead of worrying about how well we're doing it.
