When faced with a big challenge

where potential failure seems to lurk at every corner,

maybe you've heard this advice before:

"Be more confident."

And most likely, this is what you think when you hear it:

"If only it were that simple."

But what is confidence?

Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile, and capable,

also known as self-esteem,

add in the optimism that comes when you are certain of your abilities,

and then empowered by these,

act courageously to face a challenge head-on.

This is confidence.

It turns thoughts into action.

So where does confidence even come from?

There are several factors that impact confidence.

One: what you're born with, such as your genes,

which will impact things like the balance of neurochemicals in your brain.

Two: how you're treated.

This includes the social pressures of your environment.
