What does it mean to be a competent human being? Competence is about your ability to handle life’s challenges effectively by building the skills, habits, and mindset you need—it’s not about being perfect or naturally talented. It’s about showing up, learning from mistakes, and growing through action. True confidence comes from competence; it’s the quiet belief that you can handle what life throws at you because you’ve proven it to yourself. Competent people take responsibility, adapt to change, and stay grounded under pressure. They’re disciplined, resilient, and willing to keep showing up, even when it’s hard. It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about knowing you can keep moving forward. Start small, stay consistent, and remember that the journey to competence is what makes you stronger.     Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast  @coachkate1  Mental Health Coach
