A fellow doesn't last long on what he has done. He's got to keep on delivering as he goes along.

Create confidence

Don’t wait for confidence. Create it with action.

Get started and you build the confidence to keep going. Persist in the effort, and you generate the confidence to finish.

You’ll have trouble talking yourself into genuine confidence. What you must do is work yourself into it.

The more you see yourself getting results, the more confident you become about reaching for greater results. Not only does experience teach you, it vanquishes your doubts.

You’ll need some faith to take the first step. After that, your growing confidence makes your actions self reinforcing.

Get that momentum going in your favor. The sooner you take action, the more confident you can become.

— Ralph Marston
