Confidence Is Not a Trait—It’s a Decision

Low self-confidence isn’t a life sentence. Self-confidence can be learned, practiced, and mastered–just like any other skill. Once you master it, everything in your life will change for the better.” –Barrie Davenport

People often ask how I speak so freely on stage, how I seem at ease in front of a crowd. The truth is, it’s not always easy. I’ve stood on stages with a calm face and trembling hands. I’ve looked out into audiences with a voice that wavered—then steadied—not because I was born with unshakable confidence, but because I made the choice to build it.

Confidence, for me, isn’t something you have—it’s something you create. It’s forged through doing the scary things, showing up prepared, silencing the inner doubt, and choosing belief over fear again and again. I wanted to be a speaker. I wanted to share the wisdom, the mistakes, and the magic from my journey. And wanting it meant doing the work.

I started small: running a 5K even when my legs and my mind protested. Speaking up in rooms where silence felt safer. Preparing in advance so that I could show up fully. Repeating truths to myself louder than the noise of uncertainty. Every act, every choice, stacked on itself until what once felt impossible started to feel like a steady rhythm.

Confidence is made. It’s grown. It’s nurtured.

And it’s available to anyone who’s willing to begin.

So here’s your invitation:

Pick one action this week that nudges you closer to the confident version of yourself. Speak up when you’d usually stay quiet. Say yes to the opportunity that makes your stomach flutter. Prepare for something with intention and show up like you belong—because you do.

Then tell me—what did you choose? I’ll be right here cheering you on.

Peace and Blessings
