Confidence comes after the shot

You're not waiting for motivation. You're waiting for permission to stay comfortable. Watch the UEFA Super Cup penalty shootout. Nobody's motivated in that moment. They're terrified. But they walk up anyway, ball under arm, and take the shot before their brain can talk them out of it. That's the whole trick. Action first, feeling later. Here's what nobody tells you: confidence isn't the thing that shows up before you start. It shows up after you've already taken the shot, missed a few, and realized you're still standing. Stop scheduling the leap. Take the first ugly step today. Momentum pays your bills, not inspiration.
