That is true that a person can be fine at one aspect and lack courage in another. After thinking about it for a moment, I can think of a couple of types of examples that agree with what you are saying. In some areas, or with certain types of people, they would need to build the successes in the related field to feel confident enough to rise to the next tier. This is not required for all, but after your comment, I could think of a couple of people who fit your description. Thanks for that elaboration. Jonathan - That's true about acting like something long before you become it. Usually "becoming it" is a small step that is nothing in comparison with all the experience gained acting as though it has already occurred. Thanks about the post. Martyna - Hi to you and thanks there. I am pretty sure that a person can mainly only focus on the small actions, because enough of them packed together looks like a huge achievement to people not involved in the process. A lot of examples come to mind of where 10 or 15 small actions put together is what we call something great. Glad you got that feeling of flow. Farouk - Thanks there. I knew I wanted to discuss the concept when I had already thought about it, and was reading something in a book that reminded me to put it together. David – I hear what you are saying.

I find it difficult at times to really go after the big achievements I know I am destined to...because of fear, or simply repetitive small actions in the past. your article gave me great insights. right now when I am writing these words I feel the power of focus, when you concentrate on small actions how are you going to breakthrough to big achievements? we both agree that it is how we see things, outcomes determine our results. we are destined to possess amazing power, the moments of FLOW show it to us. I know that by chasing the state of flow can expand our knowledge on our own success best of the best Martyna :) hey:)

We all can lean on the sheets of action with persistance. The saying goes " act like something long enough an you'll become it", Who do you want to become? Nice post Alex! Confidence can be acquired by acting confident. We all can lean on the sheets of action with persistance. The saying goes ” act like something long enough an you’ll become it”, Who do you want to become?

Nice post Alex!

People can have the confidence to perform, say, their sport or act in front of millions, but still lack the confidence to speak to a crowd of people.

Good point about it building slowly. It probably can't build that quickly at all. It needs to be step-by-step. On that point about fighting fear, that sounds about right. fas - That is true. Sometimes folks have enough confidence to travel through some process they haven't even tried before, while someone else who has some experience in it lacks enough confidence to give it a go. As long as it is confidence, and not cockiness, it can help make up for a lack of experience or knowledge in select cases. Oscar – Thanks about the post. Good point about it building slowly.
