Simply stated, this means that once you find your path to success in anything, success can come easier to you in all things. You have learned and understand what you must do: the mindset, the discipline, the effort and the focus that you must apply to reach your goal. Some goals may be more or less difficult or pleasurable for you, but you still know what it takes to get there. Whether you are willing to do what it takes, of course, is another thing altogether.

Self confidence is gained primarily from actual experiences. A past success or achievement gives us confidence that we can achieve it again or do something similar. Because we have this history of success, it becomes easier for us to take that important first step in other challenges. The result is that we become part of a positive cycle where the more success we experience the more confident we become and so on. This is why confident people become more and more confident and successful.

Most people have succeeded in something. When faced with a new challenge in a different area, don't say that you can't do it or that you are trying to do it if you have not succeeded, because you already know the type of effort and discipline that success requires. Just honestly say that you don't want to do it, and move along rather than continue to confront yourself with something you really have no desire for. Your desire not to do it is possibly more important to you for whatever gain you get out of that decision.
