It's amazing what a little bit of success will do for your confidence.
Last Saturday, Parker scored during his basketball game. Finally, after a season of taking multiple shots and giving lots of effort, now he "knows" he can do it.
Also on Saturday, Turner, who is starting to potty-train, used the potty before he got into the bathtub. With every successful effort, he begins to "know" that he can do it.
The same principle holds true for adults as well: success is encouraging. It doesn't really matter how much support you receive from others, until you experience success on your own, doubts will linger (Am I good enough?; Can I do it?).
But once you've experienced some success, you're ready to soar.
