Borrow Belief Until Yours Builds: How to Keep Moving When Confidence Feels Out of Reach

Some days, belief feels light.

Other days, it feels heavy.

You question:

And when that happens, it’s easy to think something is wrong with you.

But here’s the truth:

> Belief doesn’t always come from within —

> especially at the beginning.

And that’s okay.

This part matters:

Borrowing belief is temporary.

One day, you’ll notice:

And you’ll realize:

You built it.

Some days, belief is heavy.

Some days, confidence feels far away.

That doesn’t mean you stop.

It means you borrow.
