Walk up to that person, tell the person how you feel; apply for that job that requires 5 years experience when you only have 1; trust me to do the job even though I have absolutely no clue about what I'm doing; go for that audition even if you're not so confident about your skills at dancing or singing... What's the worst that'll happen?
Nowadays, we're encouraged to be bold, try new things we are probably not suited for, fail and try again. While this might be a really good thing, like every other good thing, as humans, we've found ways to make it extra bad 😃.
Personally, I don't think I'm a great singer, I mean, I can carry a note and when I sing, glasses don't shatter and stuff; but I'd never go and audition for something like The Voice or Project Fame or America's got talent 😂. I'm not that confident in myself. Plus my friends won't even let me. They always have this face when I start singing...
So I'm not confident enough to do all those things. However, some other people are so so confident. They get even more confident when they watch inspirational talks or attend conferences that make them want to try out new stuff. While that's good, it doesn't mean you should go and try things you are OBVIOUSLY not suited for. You'll probably end up committing social suicide, embarrassing your friends and family and ultimately making everyone look at you like...

Boldness is a great quality to have. It's a really attractive look but guess what's even more attractive... realistic boldness. I'm very real with myself, I'd never go and audition for 'So You Think You Can Dance' just because 'I think I can dance'. I'm realistic, I won't spend my time and resources like that. I am bold, but I am also realistic.
Be realistically bold friend because sometimes getting a negative answer isn't the worst thing that'll happen.
I leave you with this for this week.
Let me know what you think in the comment section below 😆.

Beautiful post as always.
More grace Edna
However it's not so easy determining what's hindering us from giving it a shot, whether it's us being realistic or lack of boldness or confidence.
Nice one dear 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
