Competent starts with feeling competent
How good are you at what you do? Do you have tests or periodic evaluations or some other means to measure your performance? Surely, there is an objective way to demonstrate whether you are good at what you do and whether you should consider yourself a success.
Actually, people who do not think they are good at what they do-who do not think they are capable of success or leadership-do not change their opinion even when they are overrule evidence to the contrary.
Don't wait for your next evaluation to improve your judgement of yourself, because feelings are not dependent on facts-and feelings of your competence actually start with the feelings and then produce the competence.

Ross, a dancer from Springfield, Missouri, dreams of making it to Broadway. His road to dancing glory began with local amateur productions, the kind of productions in which auditions take place in front of all the other performers trying out. Ross found the experience daunting; it was like being examined by a doctor with all your peers watching. "I was so scared. I felt like I had just come out of the cornfields," Ross said.
Sometimes he succeeded, and sometimes he didn't, Ross was able to try out for different parts in various productions and gain tremendously from the experience. "I have more confidence about my auditioning technique now that I have done it in front of so many people so many times."
WHen he tried out forthe first time for a professional touring company, he won a spot in a production of Footloose.
Ross has one explanation for his immediate success in landing a professional part:"I had confidence. If you want to do it, you have to really want it and believe it. You have to make it happen. You can't sit back and hope that someone is going to help you along."

For most people studied, the first step toward improving their job performance had nothing to do with the job itself but instead with improving how they felt about themselves. In fact, for eight out of ten people, self-image matters more in how they rate their job performance than does their actual job performance.

I agree. The mind is a wondrous thing. If you think that something cannot be done, even when you can do it physically, then you can't. If you think you can do it, and normally you can't, then somehow you'll pull it off
