Before you read this post i want to let you know that i love you without knowing you just because we are all human and i want you to say to yourself "i trust myself"
Most people don’t lack confidence they lack self trust. They’ve tried before maybe it didnt workout or get bettr after they promised themselves change and they didn’t follow through. So now they hesitate to do things, slow to move ahead and take actions, they even overthink, sometimes its normal to start thinking like "hey i will wait for the “right time.” A new year doesn’t fix that by itself, yes we couod be caught up in a situation like this but it doesnt make us less or bad.

This is for people who are capable but stuck. Not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t trust themselves anymore. A new year makes many people uncomfortable for so many reasons sometimes they have a whole lot of goals and plans goals but because they don’t trust themselves to follow through maybe based on previous events it will definitely go wrong! If that sounds familiar, this is for you.
Most people don’t lack talent, not even intelligence in many of the cases don’t even lack opportunity. We just lack self trust. They’ve promised themselves things before: “I’ll start next week.” “I’ll be consistent this time.” “I’ll speak up when it matters” then they didn’t and over time, the mind remembers that’s how confidence quietly disappears.
Not that they have to be loud or outspoken with their plans but the zeal wont just be enough to act because of lack of trust thinking it might not go well or not ready enough yet.

I write because writing forces honesty. And honesty does something powerful. It helps you understand yourself. When you put thoughts into words whether through writing, speaking, or building you stop guessing who you are. You start seeing it. Writing is not about showing off. It’s about clarity. And clarity leads to action.
If you want more confidence in 2026, do this: Choose one honest form of expression. Writing, speaking, building, teaching pick one. Show up imperfectly. Don’t wait to feel ready. Start small. Keep small promises to yourself. Consistency builds self trust. Self trust builds confidence. Let action teach you who you are. Identity is discovered through doing, not thinking. When you act instead of waiting fear loses strength an hold of you! then you have full possesion and control of your will power not only that your confidence grows quietly as well, you stop pretending but showing up correctly and that is how you start trusting yourself again. That’s real growth.
I write to remind people and myself that confidence isn’t borrowed from others. It’s built. Some other things that will hasten it are discipline and self love if we do that daily. in 2026 i want us all to put on a big smile and trust ourselves again, stop waiting to feel ready. Start doing small, honest things. Let evidence replace doubt.
