Confidence isn’t knowing what to do.
It’s knowing you’ll figure out what to do.
The person who knows what to do is following a script. The person who’s confident they’ll figure it out doesn’t need one. When the script fails—when the situation changes, when nobody knows what happens next—only one of them can keep moving.
Most people think confidence comes from preparation. From knowing enough. From having done it before. So they prepare endlessly. Study more. Wait until they’re ready.
And they never feel ready because preparation doesn’t create confidence. It creates the illusion you won’t need it.
What actually creates confidence: handling things you weren’t prepared for. And surviving.
