“How important is confidence? Is it necessary? What about getting motivated? Do we really need to get pumped up before we get our tasks done? Some people don’t trust motivational gurus or seminars. Sometimes for good reason. So, what do we actually need?

Confidence is absolutely important. Competence is just as important. WISDOM is needed so you can discern when you should feel confident. YOU SHOULD be confident you can learn to do anything, and confident you can do it, once you’ve mastered it.

Both confidence and competence are part of the same set. One without the other isn’t beneficial. I don’t have to be confident I can walk over to the other side of the room and get a book from the shelf, today. I don’t need that because I’m already confident I can.

Believe In Yourself And Anything Is Possible

WHY? Because I have successfully done it many times. I am competent in doing it. I can be confident I’m capable. It’s ridiculous to be confident, ‘I can walk a tightrope hundreds of feet in the air,’ when you never have. Still, you can be confident you can LEARN to.

Be confident you can walk tightrope, after you become competent walking it from the ground on up in increasing height increments. 5 inches, 5 feet 15, 50. Then confidence makes sense. Be confident you can acquire the skill. Confidence goes with competence.

You should feel confidence grow as you acquire the ability. As you continue to gain mastery, your confidence increases. However, with mastery you acquire wisdom as to what you can do and what you shouldn’t. You learn humility because hubris could get you killed.

As You Gain Competence You Gain Confidence 

People get hurt when over-confident; when they believe their ‘press’ over their competence. When they think they can do anything without proper training and preparation because they’re good. Be appropriately confident! Be competent! Don’t be full of yourself.

Next blog will discuss how and why we learn skills and fears. Your fears and what you may consider negative or a limitation are learned, too. They’re skills. You learned to have them just as, and along with, the positive skills and resources you learned to have. Realize this and you can begin to powerfully transform your thoughts, feelings and behavior habits to start getting remarkable results. Meanwhile, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“I am so grateful to have found you on my journey Rex Sikes you are doing amazing things for this world.” –  Brian Alexander Cross Fit Owner Entrepreneur Chicago IL

“I am so glad I found Rex back in 1994 when I did my NLP and DHE with him. Although I have done training with many others over the years, it is clear to me that what I learned with Rex was the best of the best and went deep into my subconscious mind… I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be a part of this Mind Design training”. Kathy Strong, NLP Trainer and Coach, Bleadon, England

“I echo Brian’s sentiment. My life changed the day I first met you which is quite funny as I was in the middle of Tony Robbins year-long Mastery University but nothing I found there ever compared to what I discovered with you, and now, all these years later, Mind Design! You truly are the gift that goes on giving, our Rex xx”  Kathy Strong, NLP Trainer and Coach, Bleadon, England
