TRUST

Why is it that we trust our skills and competencies when someone else is telling us what do?  When we’re working for a ‘boss’ and they’re asking us to do something we’ve never done before, instead of dissolving into a puddle of insecurity, we say, ‘no worries, I’ll figure it out.'  

Yet, when that job disappears and you’ve got a glorious window of opportunity to do what makes your heart sing, you invariably dissolve into that puddle of insecurity and you suddenly forget, you mistrust that skilled and competent person you were only hours before, the fearsome woman who said, 'no worries, I’ll figure it out.’

What’s that got to do with nest and environment? Everything.  The ‘boss’ example is a nest built by someone else who’s letting you stay in that nest until they say otherwise.  The window of opportunity is the nest you will build yourself.  The one where you dictate what it looks like, the type of sticks you’ll use and the amount of time you’ll stay in it.

HUGE DIFFERENCE in whether you'll DEVELOP or CORRODE your self confidence.
