How To Gain Confidence: Throw Away The Plan!

How to Gain #Confidence

1. Make the Plan
2. Execute the Plan
3. Expect the Plan to go Off The Rails
4. THROW AWAY THE PLAN!

Yes, you heard me right.

You can make all the plans in the world. You can jot down a long laundry list of things to do in your daily planner or enter it your phone as a priority - but when life throws you a curveball - and plans are tossed away like last night’s dinner scraps - well, that’s a golden moment to gain more confidence.

How?

We humans seem to learn more about our capabilities when things don’t go according to plan.

Wouldn’t it all be peaches and cream if everything mapped out the way we intended it? Yes. But that’s not where your confidence can gain a major boost.

It’s when those plans go awry, and you need to adjust in order to move forward - that’s where the magic pixie dust gets sprinkled!

So do what you can to plan out your day or work week - but be open the fact that you may need to throw away those plans and opt for something else.

And here’s the kicker!

Many times that “something else” is SOMETHING BETTER than what you originally set out to do!

So go get em tiger - slay the dragons along the way and be open to tossing out the planned plans for something even grander! And as always - may the odds be forever in your favor.
