After making up your mind,  then you must  start  pushing yourself to whatever opportunity of public speaking that comes your  way , if you ignore doing this , then know that you aren't ready at all to achieve your aims. We speak to learn a language , we write to become a writer  , then finally we speak to become a public speaker , meaning if you run away from public speaking then you can never becomes one .

The road to success is filled with  torns, Remember?

So for you to achieve confidence in public speaking you have to speak  by pretending you already have the confidence , tell yourself  time to time that you  are confidence even though you aren't  , this is so  because,  by pretending and telling yourself you are,  you will eventually achieved it subconsciously before you start realising it  .

The same logic can be  applied to other qualities too that you might wish to develop now or in the future. For you to be courageous pretend to be courageous and act courageously, then you will be shocked to find yourself to be courageous.

You may not  find it to be easy at first  , because you are stepping out of your comfort zone , but the more time you spent out of your comfort zone the more you  start getting adapted and  comfortable  inside your new zone  which will also later and entirely turn out to be your comfort zone .

This is the "torn" Iam talking about before you reach your destination which is" success ".
