The Save The Marriage Podcast

Don’t Wait For Confidence. . .


Listen Later

Several times a week, I get an email or a phone call with the same question, "I want to save my marriage, but can I do it?  I don't want to try unless I know I can."

In other words, "I don't have confidence, and until I do, I don't want to take action."

I consistently answer the same way:  "Confidence is the wrong place to start.  Confidence is not the starting point.

Fear grips everyone.  Here and there, we all find ourselves caught by fear, seemingly unable to move, feeling unable to act.

If you know that feeling, I want to let you in on a little secret:  confidence is NOT the starting point.  It is part of a cycle.  But waiting for confidence will be a long wait -- it may never come.  Unless you decide to take action, follow the cycle, and get to the point of confidence.

So, what are the steps toward confidence?  Listen to learn the "confidence cycle," and why NOT to wait for it to get started!
