Are You Conning Yourself?
Confidence and Who Is Conning Who?
Remember the story of the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes?’ If you do not exactly remember the story, then here is a little refresher. The Emperor was conned into believing he was wearing a fabulous suit of clothes that only intelligent people had the ability to see. He himself could not see the clothes, but his pride would not allow for his apparent lack of intelligence to be revealed so he went along with the charade. So, who was conning who? The tailors were con men without question. However, by going along with this little charade, did the Emperor effectively con himself? Skilled con men, and women, trick the confidence of their ‘victims’ by getting them to believe in what they say – even when what they say is total nonsense! With that in mind, is it possible that the little nagging voice of self-doubt that you hear in your head when you lack confidence in yourself might in fact be convincing you to believe in something that really isn’t the case?
What you repeatedly tell yourself is what you begin to believe. When you lack self-confidence, you repeatedly tell yourself what you can’t do, but here’s the thing, can you really not do those things or do you just believe that you can’t do them. Let’s say you’re in training for a major event. Your coach tells you that you’re on track to achieving a personal best performance. His belief that you’re in the form of your life is based on what your results in training are telling him but as the day of the big event gets closer, a nagging voice in your head begins to tell you that you’re not ready and it begins to get louder. Who are you going to believe, your coach or the voice in your head? Which voice is telling the truth? The answer to that question is going to depend on your level of confidence.
Everyone experiences moments of doubt when the pressure is on. The negative voice in your head is the voice of self-doubt. When you’re under pressure, the volume of that voice may get racked up a notch or two but you don’t have to believe what it’s telling you. What if that voice began to tell you that you were wearing training shoes that only intelligent people can see – would you have the confidence to question that or would you just believe it?
