The things I enjoy most are the ones I feel confident in. Not necessarily confident that I will do it well but confident that it is true, good, and at times that I will do well.

This confidence comes from preparation, certainty of expectations, practice.

Today I taught a scientific technical course which I have no hands on experience in yet is a very hands on concept. Even though I have no physical experience, I have thorough notes on the training. I’ve watched someone else give the training twice and taken notes of what they said, when, and to what context.

This enhancement led to confidence. Confidence led to improvement.

Enhancement for this was me taking notes on the training. Improving my preparation.

What else can I enhance to lead to higher confidence leading to more satisfaction and enjoyment. Even though I don’t particularly like something, doesn’t mean I can’t have confidence in it.

Maybe sometimes confidence can turn our “need” mindset into a “want” mindset.
