If you have had a difficult time trusting yourself, it may be a sign that you lack confidence. You cannot develop trust, feel secure in your abilities, be strong in your convictions, or know when you are wrong without confidence.

The above requires you to develop confidence. That may seem scary to you. However, it’s not as difficult as you think. No one is born with confidence. It is something people learn and develop during their lives. It’s the same for you. Take steps to develop your confidence and trusting yourself will become easy.

Fear is the biggest enemy of confidence. When you give in to your fears, you will destroy every chance of building up your confidence. That is something that deepens if you don’t handle it quickly. You need to face your fears face to face.

That doesn’t mean you should throw caution to the wind and be reckless. You should take chances, but only if they won’t put your life or others’ lives in danger. You would not jump out of a plane without a parachute. Don’t make careless decisions either. Confidence is about knowing the difference.

Start with small things that you have been afraid to try in the past. Most outcomes will turn out better than you imagine. If you try to imagine what will happen and you always think the worst, you will never make any decisions. Take on those small things without thinking too much about what’s going to happen. That will build up your confidence like never before.

You should ask questions when you aren’t sure about the situations you face. Confidence is not about having all the answers. It’s about knowing where to find them and who to rely on with the answers that you need. It’s also about making a move when you have received the answers you need.

Confidence is about taking responsibility for your decisions and your actions. If you believe in what you are doing, you can share that belief with others affected by your decisions. You will come across as being weak if you start blaming others when your situation doesn’t go as planned. Once this happens, others will lose faith in you. That will cause your confidence to disappear, and self-doubt will take over. When you make your decisions, you own them, even if they don’t work out.

When you increase your confidence, you will automatically increase trusting yourself. Then, you can accomplish more than you ever imagined.
